Nell’s Rants

Of course I know you are all hanging out to find out how the Yucatan Pork turned out. The first thing I noticed was the salt. It was pretty obvious that I’d used too much, though I’d stuck to the recipe precisely. The meat fell apart and it tasted a lot like a vindaloo. I’ve been told that we can only taste 3 different flavours at once and I’d say - chile, salt and the tequila were the most obvious. Although I only put in one shot of tequila I’d have to say it was one of the strongest flavours. BTW I used Mezcal.

Over all - would I make it again considering it took 4 hours to cook; 30 min prep; 24 hours to marinate… yes - I’d like to have Johnny Depp come over and shoot me for cooking the best Puerco Pibil in Canberra (and possibly the only person to cook it here in 2006).
