Another recipe from The Roasting Tin around the World by Rukmini Iyer. This from the Central and South America section.
( Ingredients )
( Method )
Mistakes, Changes and Substitutions
Apart from only having 600g pork and no tortillas or coriander, I cooked this almost as specified. I sourced the achiote paste from the Internet as advised by the recipe.
Verdict
This is mind-numbingly easy so definitely worth it in terms of results for effort. The offspring picked at it politely (because sauce), but husband and I liked it so I'll be cooking it again, if only to use up the rest of the achiote paste. I had hopes it would make a good sandwich filling when cold, and it wasn't spectacular there, possibly it was bit too liquid (I may not have compensated for the reduced amount of pork entirely correctly).
