    You too?…haha. After I ground up the spices, I couldn’t stop smelling it. The aroma was addicting, and like you mentioned, euphoric. I’m going to make it for the second time. I heard it’s really good with brown sugar and/or palm sugar added to it. Balances out the spices and acidity of the citrus and vinegar. Try it sometime.

    Love this montage. And this knife cut. Great!

  3. Shamar Says:

    Marinade at least 4 hours but it’s recommended that you marinade overnight. I’ve made pibil 2 times, and twice it was exceptional. It’s the most tender meat i’ve ever had in my life. I couldnt stop smelling the marinade, it’s euphoric. It really is that good.

  6. Russell Says:

    Wow, looks fantastic, and well presented. And, I bet you’re one hot f__k!

  7. Clara Says:

    How long should you marinate this, cause he doesn’t mention anything about that!

    BY the by, “you’re gonna eat the res of your life, might as well know how.”

    I first had this dish at a restaurant in Playa del Carmen while on vacation in 2004. It caught my eye on the menu because of the movie. It was so good I bought the DVD just to get the recipe from the extras. It’s now the official Christmas Day meal in our house. Follow the instructions in this video exactly and you won’t be disappointed. NOTE: Asian markets often have banana leaves, in case you don’t have a Mexican market nearby.

    Ever since I saw this video a few months ago, I’ve been dying to make this! I had to order the anatto seeds off the Internet, but the rest was easy to come by. It is DELICIOUS! And my Mexican roommate said it was exquisite and authentic tasting. Thank you so much for sharing this! Please post more. Many more! You’re handsome so it makes the videos fun to watch. :)

    MMMMMM! I made this a few years ago after I saw the recipe on the OUTIM video. It is to DIE for. Ha.
    If you can’t find banana leaves, use foil. It is still out of this world, but don’t forget the Tequila.

  17. Tyshawn Says:

    If you’re not murdered by a dinner guest after making this dish, then you didn’t make it right…

  18. Cesar Says:

    wood has natural anti-bacterial qualities, and unlike plastic it doesn’t store live bacteria in the knife grooves.

    as long as you clean your board on a regular basis, and don’t cut anything else on the board after you’ve cut the raw meat on it, you’ll be fine.

  19. Carolyn Says:

    Oh my god.

    Somebody tell the man it’s dangerous to use a wooden cutting board for raw meat.

  20. Joy Says:

    This makes my mouth water.

    Great post!I’ve been cooking this every so often since “the film”.This is one of the few dishes I cook that my son likes(he’s a fast foodie).We’ve been using the pre-made achiote,but were going purist.I’d rather be a “Mexican” than a “Mexicant!”

  22. Jovanny Says:

    Pork **** is a relatively fatty and tough cut just because of where it’s from, that is ideal for a braise. A good deal of the fat should render out of the meat and end up in the bottom of the pan.
    Boneless pork chops don’t have the fat needed and will get tough and dry from overcooking, if you want the flavor of the recipe on chops, marinate the chops and then grill or broil them, but don’t braise chops.

    I don’t think it was the foil that burned, it was the banana leaf :o )
