Now that I received my Annatto- / Achiote-seeds I started the real deal of Puerco pibil.
We invited some neighbors so I used 3600 g of pork. For the marinade I used 3 tsps. of cumin seeds, 1,5 Tbsp. of black peppercorns, 12 allspice berries and 1 tsp. of whole cloves and this time 100 g of Achiote-seeds, powdered them in the Magic Bullet. I added 1,5 tsp. of my homemade tabasco powder. I mixed 200 ml of orange juice, 200 ml of lemon juice, 125 ml of white vinegar and about 100 ml of tequila. The next step was to blend the powder with 3 Tbsps. of salt and 12 cloves of garlic. I mixed all that to a nice acidic liquid. I cut the pork into pieces of 2 by 2 inches and put them in a bowl with the marinade. The meat marinaded overnight.

I kept the balance and Johnny Depp was busy as Jack Sparrow and Sweeney Todd in German TV tonight.
