Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 red onion, thinly sliced
3 habanero peppers, sliced
10 limes, juiced
salt to taste
3 ounces dried guajillo chile peppers, seeded and deveined
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 cups fresh squeezed orange juice
1 cup white vinegar
7 ½ ounces achiote paste
1 bulb bulb garlic, peeled

Steps:

  • Combine onion, habanero peppers, lime juice, and salt in a bowl; cover and refrigerate onion-habanero salsa while preparing and cooking the pork.
  • Place guajillo peppers in a bowl; pour enough hot water over the peppers to cover. Soak until peppers are softened, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper on all sides; cook in the hot oil until completely browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the pork into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®).
  • Combine guajillo peppers, orange juice, vinegar, achiote paste, and garlic in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour the sauce over the pork cubes in the pressure cooker. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Remove the pork to a serving dish and shred with 2 forks. Pour the achiote sauce over the shredded pork. Serve with the onion-habanero salsa.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I will try it again with less chili peppers next time.

The cochinita pibil was good, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will use less salt next time.
