Categories     Pork     Bake     Dinner

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 T. annatto seeds
2 t. cumin seeds
1 T. whole black pepper
8 whole allspice berries
1 t. cloves
2 habanero peppers
2 T. salt
8 cloves garlic
1/2 c. orange juice
1/2 c. white vinegar
5 lemons, juiced
1 shot (1 1/2 oz.) tequila
5 lbs. pork butt
banana leaves

Steps:

  • 1.grind the dried spices (annatto, cumin, black pepper, allspice, and cloves), thoroughly (I'd use a blade-style coffee grinder, though not one that I ever intend to use for coffee again) 2.mince the habenero peppers, after removing the seeds 3.combine orange juice, vinegar, lemon juice, tequila, dried spices, minced habenero, salt, and garlic in a blender. Liquify. 4.cut pork into 2 inch squares, place in a large ziplock bag, and fill with the marinade 5.let marinate for at least twenty minutes (overnight is fine, too) 6.line a 9" x 12" pan with banana leaves, pour pork & marinade in, cover with more banana leaves, cover tightly with foil 7.cook at 325 degrees F. for four hours Serve over white or Spanish rice. (I omit the banana leaves, and cook until just tender - less than four hours.)

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers. It was still delicious!

This is a great recipe for a special occasion. It's a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort.

I served this with black beans and rice, and it was a perfect meal. The flavors all went together so well.

I added some extra spices to the rub, and it gave the pork a really nice flavor. I'll definitely be doing that again next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. I had some pulled pork in the freezer, and this was the perfect way to use it up.

I used chicken instead of pork, and it was still delicious! I'll definitely be making this again with pork next time.

This recipe was a bit time-consuming, but it was worth the effort. The pork was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sauce was amazing.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pork was dry and tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
