my cochinita pibil efforts
Intersting to see everyone's comments and recipes. I've made it also; my local Mexican grocery now has the sour orange juice, but I've also made my own mixture with part grapefruit juice. I think that grapefruit has the bitter/sour flavor you need. Banana leaves I buy frozen at an Asian grocery. The biggest disappointment, in making cochinita pibil in the States, is the pork itself. It goes against our health-conscious ways, but you need pork with lots of fat, or the dish will be dry and the flavor thin.
I've been off the forum for quite a while, but will be coming to Playa March 20-23, after three peaceful days at cesiak in Sian Kaan.
