A very tasty mexican dish of shredded pork. This dish was featured in ‘Once Upon a Time in Mexico’ where Johnny Depp’s character would order it at every restaurant he ate, if it tasted too good, he would kill the chef. I got this recipe from a friend, There’s a recipe of it as cooked by Director Roberto Rodreiguez that can be found on youtube.
- 2 tsp. Cumin
- 2 tbsp coriander
- 2 tbsp oregano
- 2 tblsp Thyme
- 2 tblsp cocoa
- 1 tblsp Annato Paste ( optional, hard to find, but gives it great colour ).
- 1 tbsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp salt
- 100mls White Vinegar
- 2 chili Peppers
- 8 cloves Garlic
- 1 ltr Orange Juice
- A splash of Tequila
- 2kg. boneless Pork shoulder
Cut pork into 2 inch chunks and mix with remainder of ingredients
Place into a covered oven dish and cook on 160 centigrade for 3 – 4 hours
When done it should just fall apart with a stir
