Cochinita Pibil with picked red onions and Habanero hot sauce

[zippy12]

I don't think I ever seen so much fat in a butt!!! and 10lbs at that!
So this will make 2 items (Cochinita Pibil(4lbs) and Cheddar Bratwurst sausages(5lbs))
She is a a looker!

Mixed the Achiote with lime juice and orange juice ... add salt to taste and marinade 24hrs.
then on Sunday into the UDS for an 8hr slow roast. Make sure to smoke it!!!!!
The wait is killing me! but I need to make sausage so over and out!

You can use some grapefruit juice, orange juice and lime juice in a recipe I saw on a Pati Munich show that is a substitute for real sour orange that we can't get..

Zippy12,

I made cochinita pibil a lot over many years, though I've always made my own achiote paste, or recado, from scratch. I just happen to like it better than the premade stuff. As Rings says, you can easily make an acceptable substitute for the bitter orange. When I make it, I use 1 1/2 cups lime juice, 1 cup orange juice, and 1/4 cup cider vinegar. Obviously, that can be scaled up or down, but the ratio stays constant. Though it sounds interesting, I've never used grapefruit juice.

Good luck, and enjoy.

Point for this meal.
