Puerco Pibil (Cochinita Pibil)

• Spices
• 5 tablespoons whole annato seeds
• 2 teaspon whole cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon peppercorns
• 8 whole allspice seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
• 1st part of the ingredients
• 2 habanero chiles, stems and seeds removed, chopped
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 2 tablespoon salt
• 8 cloves garlic
• 2nd part of the ingredients
• 5 Lemons
• 5 pounds of pork
• Splash of tequila

1. Grind and mix all the spices. I use a coffee grinder to do so but not the same I use to grind my coffee.
2. In a blender, add the spices and the 1st part of the ingredients. Mix until you get a puree.
3. Add the juice of 5 lemons in the blender.
4. Add a splash of tequilla (I use about 1 ounce 1/2).
5. Mix again with the blender.
6. Cut the pork into 1 inch cubes.
7. Combine everything in a zip-lock bag and mix well.
8. You can let it marinate a bit but if you cook it right there, it's better tasting.
9. Cover a pan that goes in the oven with bananas leaves. Put the mix in the pan. Cover with banana leaves.
10. Put foil to cover.
11. If you cover it so nothing escape, you will have a juicy and tasty meal, my favorite. If you let heat come out, you'll get a very dry and spicy mix.
12. Bake 4 hours at 325; serve over rice
