A traditional Mexican dish, Cochinita Pibil is a slow roasted pork dish tracing its origins to the Yucatan Peninsula. Achiote paste and bitter orange juice are combined to make a marinade in which the pork is marinated overnight. Cooked over plantain leaves in the traditional Mayan fashion, this slow roasted pork is then shredded and served with lime marinated onions. Use the Cochinita Pibil as a taco or burrito filling or serve on buns as a Mexican variant of the pulled pork sandwich.
Ingredients

- lime juice
- salt
- 100 grams achiote paste
- 0.5 liters bitter orange juice (or regular orange juice and a splash of vinegar and water)
- 1 kilogram pork meat (in large chunks)
- plantain (leaves)
Directions
- Thinly slice the onion. Place in a small bowl and add enough lime juice to cover. Add salt to taste. Cover and refrigerate.
- In the blender, mix the achiote paste and orange juice.
- Season the pork with salt. Place in a pan and pour the orange juice and achiote mixture on top.

- In a baking pan, line the bottom with aluminum foil. Add the plantain leaves and place the pork on top. Pour the sauce over the pork and wrap with the aluminum foil.

The spicy sauce with both orange juice and lime juice is an interesting combination with the meat and plantains. It was delicious served over rice.
