My new favorite thing:

Cut the habaneros.

Use the same knife to slice the lemons.

Lick the knife.

Tastes amazing!

[f0xmuld3r]

How many habaneros you use?

I noticed you left out the tequila in the written recipe, lol. Thanks for posting that so I don't have to write it all down as he goes. Amazing video! I actually wanted to learn this after watching the movie. For a director he has a pretty shitty camera though.

[f0xmuld3r]

Yeah, I need to update this badly!

[f0xmuld3r]

To each his own. Maybe you need to cook it again and try to use less annato seeds or just grind it way better..

[Bill Wilkat]

He (and Depp in the movie), make this sound so good, I've been wanting to try to for some time now, but if it's too hot, I'll need a wimped down version! LOL! it was a great special feature included on the DVD so Kudos!

I've cooked this several times. Such a goo recipe. Depending on the size of the pork butt (shoulder), you can feed about five people. It is spicy, so for those who can't handle it, sour cream goes well. And don't be a chump, keep the seeds in!
