Cochinita pibil receta robert rodriguez biography

If you’ve ever watched Once Upon a Time in Mexico (disclaimer: I never have), you are aware that a dish called Puerco Pibil (or Cochinita Pibil) plays a significant role in the story. And if you’ve ever seen the DVD (disclaimer: I never have), you may have found a special feature called “10-Minute Cooking School” where Robert Rodriguez, in all his bandanna-rocking glory, shows you how to cook Puerco Pibil while waxing philosophical on food and lovemaking.

But with a little creativity and a Crock Pot, you can bring on the pork coma any night of the week without too much fuss. At least, that’s what my slow-cooker Puerco Pibil experiment seems to have demonstrated.

Puerco Pibil is a traditional Mexican dish of pork marinated and roasted in achiote paste. The recipe is fundamentally pretty simple: Marinate pork in achiote paste, wrap in banana leaves, roast nice and slow until the pork is tender and deli
