Homemade Cochinita
with Renata Lira

Cochinita pibil is a true gem of Maya-peninsular cuisine —and Mexican cuisine as a whole. Traditionally, this marinated pork stew, seasoned with achiote and other condiments, is slow-cooked for hours in a pib, or “underground oven,” as it’s known in Maya. Although we won’t be digging a hole to cook it in class, we will learn how to make the best home-style version of this exquisite dish. We’ll pair it with its classic accompaniments: pickled red onions and habaneros, fresh corn tortillas, and, to end on a sweet note, a warming wintertime cinnamon atole.

Menu:

  •  Cochinita
  •  
  •  Freshly Made Tortillas (From Flour)
  •  
  •  Habanero-Onion Pickle
  •  
  •  Cinnamon Atole
