Beautiful photo – I like the additions of orange juice and cilantro to the pickled onions.

I too started making it after seeing Robery Rodriguez’ version and it’s fantastic.

Ivy, the annato seeds are VERY IMPORTANT, i can not stress that enough. I use a coffee grinder to grind them up into a very fine powder along with all the other spices and the smell is unbelievable. Dip your nose into a bag of annato seeds, it’s a very euphoric smell.

Robert suggests a splash of tequila, I disagree. The acidity in the tequila also works to tenderize the meat and for that reason (along with taste) I add a splash of tequila per pound (and a shot for me for good health).

I’m definitely going to try this recipe though, especially the pickled onions, never tried that with my pibil.

Oh, I loved eating cochinita pibil when we visited the Yucatan last year — thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

Ben, so glad you’re here and hoping cooking is helping with your healing…
Great selection. We made pibil for that Mexican extravaganza we had recently — on the BBQ! This sounds really great! Marinated onions and all! YUM! And big hugs to you…

Dang, read this last week and spent the weekend dreaming about it. I did okay though, found and made me a new bbq sauce, I did okay.

xo, Biggles

That looks really tasty. I will have to see if I can find some of those annatto seeds.

Ben, it’s so good to see you back! I’ve missed your posts.

This looks totally fabulous! My husband would be eating out of the palm of my hand if I made this for him, hehe. Thanks!
