My new favorite thing:

Cut the habaneros.

Use the same knife to slice the lemons.

Lick the knife.

Tastes amazing!

@kengle1 How many habaneros you use?

[SolidGold1980]

I made this and it tasted like dirt. Those annatto seeds make the pork taste like clay - it would be better to substitute tomatoes instead

[f0xmuld3r]

@SolidGold1980 To each his own. Maybe you need to cook it again and try to use less annato seeds or just grind it way better..

this replaced roast boar as my favorite food that ive never actually eaten

[Lovelee182BBB]

delicious! BF made it Valentines Day. I recommend adding a bit more salt to taste (we added it after cooking it) and defiantly add some habanero seeds. Leftovers can get dry if you dont reheat it properly (i microwaved it with a cup of water next to the plate to retain moisture). Leftover recommendation- eat it with corn. sweet and spicy mMm MmM!

@SolidGold1980 Make sure you grind the annatto seeds to a fine powder. One common mistake I find is the annatto isn't ground fine enough.

@SolidGold1980 with out the anato seeds i just wouldnt eat it. i guess different people have different tastes.

I've made this dish a few times following Rodriguez' recipe, it does come out great. The only thing I'd do differently it's not to go crazy with the anatto/achiote. I recommend getting the paste instead, and don't overuse the paste, it's really strong, just gently rub some on the pork. Also, ease up on the Habaneros, I just use one, lol. I also prefer it wrapped up in tin foil, the banana leaves' aroma can overpower the pork. Simple dish to make...but complex enough to impress your guests.

@SolidGold1980 Use the paste instead, it's much smoother...you will get much better results.
