Very fun and easy to make. Though, I had no Idea you had to let it marinate 12 hours! I let my marinate for 2, Ill try 12 now.

Very easy, just a bit time consuming, you have to let the pork marinate for at least 12 hrs, Rod didn’t mention that in this vid. If you can’t find annato seeds, look in a health food store. Also, if you have a large Mexican grocery nearby you can get frozen banana leaves, just let ‘em thaw out.

i have made this dish many times as a chef and it is so cool and very much a part of the movie! i live in fremantle western australia and grow banana plants just for this dish and some vietnamese and thai dishes.we don’t have a huge range of tequila here but can get a decent one for $50 and grow my own HABANERO’S.

Made it 4 times for the neighborhood parties. It’s the first dish that dissappears off the table and is the most requested and by no means am I a great cook. I cook it for 3 hours 40 minutes and use either casa noble, Herradura or reserva de la familia Anejo tequila. Robert has this right, Casa noble is Probably the finest tequila made.

Oh, and don’t be swayed by Obsidian’s racist garbage, either.

Just more proof that smoking crack, doing E, and drinking while commenting on YouTube is never a good idea. :-/

This dude is on the money. I learned how to cook from my mom, and learned other techniques from books and TV. And I agree 110% that not knowing how to cook is not knowing how to ****. I wanna party with RR, have a cook-off. But I think by his standards, my cooking would be “bland” ;^)

This makes me want to move back to Texas. But instead, I’ll just do what the man says.
