What is your recipe for the Mexican pit pork marinade? You put it on the pork before you put into the pit.
Thank you!

Not sure how I missed this when you posted it, but I just saw it in the BlogHer headlines on my blog and came to check it out. I’ve never cooked anything using achiote and I’m very curious about it. Love the sound of this, wish I had been there to taste it!

I went to school one semester in Granada, Spain and there were a ton of Seville orange trees in the courtyard. We tried eating them, but they were just too bitter. They are, however, excellent for cooking, especially savory dishes you don’t want too sweet. Wonderful post–I admire all the love and effort you put into this dish. Quite a feast!

This is definitely something I’m going to try in the solar oven! Knew there was a reason I bought that pork, this morning. Now, to sneak over to my neighbor’s yard and grab a few leaves off her banana tree!

If you get a chance, head over to the Leftover Queen’s blog and vote for me for the January Joust entry. It’s the Sunny Champagne Chicken dish. Here’s the URL: http://www.leftoverqueen.com/forum/index.php/board,5.0.html

I’m wondering if this can be adapted for a smoker. Might be nice!

Hi Heidi. I've been thinking about trying this in the slow cooker but we haven't done it yet. I make barbecued pulled pork in the slow-cooker, and the process should be the same. This isn't a lot of meat to start with, so you could probably use a smaller four-quart slow cooker and cook on low for about 7 hours, maybe 8. The meat should be falling apart when it's ready.

Hi Andrea,
Can the pork be cooked in a crock pot instead? I’m sure there will be some flavor lost without using the banana leaves, but do you think it would be really noticeable?

Thank you!

P.S. I work for Mike

Deb, there’s a recipe for the pickled onions in the book, so I’ll have to give it a try.

Wow, that really looks fabulous. I’ll have to be on the lookout for the ingredients.
