Cochinita Pibil

Cochinita pibil is a slow roasted pork dish of Yucatec Mayan origin from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, traditionally made from a whole suckling pig, though pork shoulder or loin are common modern substitutes. The meat is marinated in an acidic citrus juice, traditionally from Seville or bitter oranges, along with annatto seed, which gives the dish its vivid burnt orange color, then wrapped in banana leaf and slow roasted in a pit oven called a piib. It is typically served with yellow corn tortillas, pickled red onions, refried black beans and habanero peppers.
