That's a great video! I like that! It goes right along with the whole citrus kick I've been on, but introduces vinegar. And I'm willing to bet that it would work in the crock pot. I just need to go back and jot down the name of those seeds that I haven't heard of before. I even have a spare coffee grinder.
I actually found and purchase a big bottle of cumin. I haven't used it yet, but I will very soon. I'm going to the store real soon. I might have to pick up some pork.
I actually went to the store and picked up all the ingredients for this at Smart & Final. They didn't have pork butt, so I got 5 pounds of pork loin. I'm sure it will be OK. I'm also using limes instead of lemons, just because I like the flavor better. I'm not using banana leaves, because I'm gonna cook it twice as long in the crock pot. I could hunt down banana leaves in the neighborhood, 'cause they live here, but I'm not gonna this time. I'm just concentrating on the marinade recommended in the video. It looks a lot like the marinade for carne asada. I found the achiote too, but it was already ground. I even bought a nice bottle of tequila for the occasion: Hacienda Veija. Yes, I sampled it. It's pretty good. I'll let you know how it turns out.
cool - I'm gonna maybe get some of the ingredients today or this week and see how it goes. Banana leaves are found around here at the asian grocery stores, and I'm always up for a good excuse to buy premium tequila.
Tequila is too easy to be acquired around here! They sell it in grocery stores, and shit! It's not like there. Although, I just read yesterday that the liquor situation up there may change soon, depending on the politics. I hope that, someday soon, you'll be able to walk into any store that has a liquor license and buy booze. Down here, we can buy booze (in the bottle) just about anywhere until 2 AM. I don't drink it that much, but it's all about the convenience
