- 10 minute cooking school: Puerco Pibil by Roberto Rodriguez (c)2004.
Filmmaker Roberto Rodriguez shows you how to cook an awesome Mexican dinner. "Not knowing how to cook is like not knowing how to fuck".
For reference, the recipe for Puerco Pibil given here is:
5T whole annato seeds 2t whole cumin seeds
1T peppercorns
8 whole allspice seeds
1/2t whole cloves
Grind the above in a spice mill/coffee grinder.
2 habanero chiles, stems and seeds removed, chopped
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup white vinegar
2T salt
8 cloves garlic
Combine the above with the spice mix in a blender, and puree.
Juice of 5 lemons splash tequila 5 pounds pork butt, cut into 2-inch cubes Combine all ingredients in a zip-top bag and mix well. Line a 9x13 pan with banana leaves; add the pork mixture; fold over the leaves to cover, then cover tightly with foil. Bake 4 hours at 325; serve over rice.
I must say, I'm from Yucatán and normally we do this with "naranja agria" wich is kind of a really sour orange instead of the vinegar and orange juice, I tried this way just to see and it is a GREAT substitute, I couldn't tell the difference, also, the home made achiote paste is to die for. Robert Rodriguez is AWESOME!! =)
2:00 What is the name of the music playing in the background?
I remember watching this on the DVD extras! Haha! Wise words from Robert that I will never forget...
coolest man ever
i would love to see a cooking show hosted by Rodriguez and antonio banderas
Best meal in the world. My man has been making this to perfection for 4 years. Heavenly
The man's an inspiration. A great filmmaker and a great cook offering his wisdom to us all:)
This recipe is actually one of my favorites, have made it several times. Banana leaves can sometimes be found in the freezer at the Asian market. Adds a flavor worth seeking, and foil gets eaten by the acids in the marinade. Pork butt is sometimes called pork shoulder too. A crock pot works great. Rodriguez rocks! Thanks for putting this up!
I watched this as a kid when we owned the Once upon a time in Mexico 🇲🇽 dvd. Now I’m all grown up I want to cook this for my friends and family
Made two batches of it for my Christmas party today. I'm a Puerco Pibil veteran. I love this dish.
:)
Happy Holidays, everyone.
Pulled this video up because I'm getting ready to make this again. I've been making this dish since I first found this video on the DVD of "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", and it rocks. DeltaSierra is right. It's not the same without the Annato seeds/Achiote or another cut of meat. You need Boston butt (pork butt). And you can get the Annato seeds in bulk on Amazon. I make mine a little different, though. I use about half the lemon juice and the other half lime juice, so about 2 lemons and 4 limes, depending on size. If you don't want it as spicy, *cut back on the black pepper* and remove the veins/seeds from the Habaneros. You can also substitute Jalapenos for the Habaneros.
Awesome recipe. Now I don't have to kill chefs anymore.
"You can do other things"
*Zooms in on tequila bottle*
God, this guy surely knows his shit.
Thankyou Robert been making it for years since I got the dvd and found it in the special features. I marinate mine over night. Cheers Buddy ! 🍺🤛😎👍
I have made this recipe many times over the years and love it. I just made this last night but was running late to get it in the oven in time to eat so I popped a banana leaf into my instant pot, poured my marinated meat with the juices in, topped and folded the banana leaf around the outer edges of the meat, and turned it on high pressure. FYI, 40 min is not long enough for 5 lbs of meat. I put it back in for 20 min and most of the meat was soft except for the very top of the meat. If you do use an instant pot, go with 60-70 min on high pressure.
I've only made this recipe once --- probably 2 years ago, but I'm tempted to try it again. Previously I used Robert's method of cutting the pork butt into cubes and cooking them in the oven with the banana leaves. When I try it again I think I'm going to use my slow cooker/crockpot and just leave the pork butt whole. I may skip the banana leaf all together. I don't think it lended a lot of flavor. I couldn't find fresh banana leaf, so I ended up getting frozen.
My Mom is a great Mexican cook yet she'd never made this dish. So I made this up for her and a bunch of guests two weekends ago and it ROCKED. Not only does the pork just flake apart with a fork.. it has this citrus-spicy-vinegar taste to it that just soaks right into the meat. I didn't have banana leaves so I used dried corn husks that I soaked in water and lay down in layers. Right now I have this in the oven as a whole chicken in a roasting bag. MMmmm!
Cochinita pibil is cooked first of all with red amato (I'm Yucatecan I should know that), in which tomato has been added at least, usually the whole prk is used but shoulder will do.
The pork is tenderized in sour seville orange for about 2 hours in advance, then the red amato (achiote) paste is added, then it is cooked in the oven for about 2 hours or so, then a sauce is made of purple onions and lime juice, to the side a habanero sauce of habanero and vinegar or habanero and lime juice.
I love that you have a menu in your house that friends and family can request things from. That's a really cool idea
The banana leaves absolutely make the difference. I've made this at least twice a year since 2005 when I saw this recipe. Put forth the effort to do it the way Robert does. It is phenomenal. You can also use this to make some out-of-this world tacos or enchiladas.
Made this recipe many times. It’s stellar, a real crowd pleaser. I love Robert Rodriguez he’s a bad ass. I will say folks, do one easy extra step for this recipe to make it even more amazing: toast your dry spices in a dry pan on medium heat before grinding them. Adds such an amazing depth of flavor to your finished Pibil.
Ah ! Good Idea ! 👊😎👍
I love it. "We got a minute lets talk about how to cook. Pick two or three of your favorite dishes and learn how to cook them really well". So essentially you learn how to cook by learning how to cook. Thanks for that tip Robert, btw the sin city breakfast tacos and the Pibil are delicious!
This video was included in the special features for the Once Upon a Time in Mexico DVD. I first saw it back in ~05-06. This video inspired me to start learning how to cook.
GREAT recipe! Just finished making it myself, waiting for my rice to finish. One thing that Rod doesn't mention in the vid is that you need to marinate the pork in the bag for at least 12 hrs. That's vital! Also, you can find annato seed at health food stores. Also also, be sure to turn on the exhaust fan in the kitchen, the roasting banana leaves will smell up the whole house...
Once upon a time in Mexico is an absolute brilliant movie
Much Respect, one of my favorite dishes to make, a major hit at dinners, parties and family gatherings. I usually make double at these events and its usually gone before I can even get a taste.
Fabulous recipe! Discovered you can line a crock pot with banana leaves and make this in a crock-pot! Make extra, add hominy and broth for amazing posole!
I make this a few times a year.. family and friends love it. I just made some tonight and this time went with 6 whole Habanero chilis.. seeds and all. It mellows out a bit with the roasting but still packs a punch. Whew!.. good stuff on garlic rice.
I've made this several times.. great dish! It has a slight citrus taste as you eat it, followed by the tang of the habanero after. I've increased the amount of habanero, with all the roasting going on, it hasn't been a problem and I like it a bit spicy. I usually serve it over white rice, but considering 'garlic rice' next time around. Enjoy!!
I've been using this recipe for years, and it never fails to impress.
This year I'm going to give it a try with a whole suckling pig for our yearly barbecue. Should be a hit.
This recipe rocks! I've made it about 10 times now and tried a few variations and they've all been great. The first 3-4 times I followed the recipe verbatim, but have tried adding more garlic, using hotter & cooler peppers and subbing in lime, orange or grapefruit juice for some or all of the citrus and have yet to find a way to make this dish NOT delicious!
And as a side note, I've done this in a banana leaf-lined crock pot a couple times, just letting it go on low overnight and that worked great as well!
I've gotta try this version (with a crock pot, that is)
I made this yesterday for a a latin fudtrip, marinated the day before and serve yesterday with tortillas wraps, and it came out great as a first course!
Rick Hindman - GREAT idea! Have made this dish a handful of times, as well - always enjoyable and delish.
Thanks... I have only tried the recipe once. It was very good. I am going to make it again and use my crockpot. Not sure I'll use the banana leaves again.
Your own menu! Man that's super cool! 💯💯💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
this is probably coolest cooking show ever:-)
took this to work for a potluck and everybody loved it. it was a big hit. most eatin dish there.
The days before youtube.
did the dish because of this vid when the DVD came out. Robert does mention marinating the meat in the sauce. I left mine over night...worked a treat.
I never thought of adding a short of tequila. Simple, yet brilliant! Also, the banana leaves need to be put on top of either your electric or gas stove top first. Use low heat. You'll instantly see the leaves changing color. This'll make them much more pliable when you use them to wrap your pork. Also, they'll give a slight smoky flavor.
My new favorite thing:
Cut the habaneros.
Use the same knife to slice the lemons.
Lick the knife.
Tastes amazing!
To quote Ralph Wiggum: It tastes like burning!
Recipe looks great can't wait to try it!
I like these!😄
I just made this, wasn't able to find annatto seeds, just the paste. but i amped it up with the cumin, allspice, etc. Its sooo good.
You are great! thanks for sharing! God bless Roberto...
I just made this in my Instant Pot. Amazing flavor. I did use naranja agria though since there's a tree down the street full of them. Great recipe Mr. Rodriguez. And it was store bought achiote paste. A big brick of it. Since HEB has the pork butt roasts right now for $1.49 a lb. 👍😋🤞
i love this movie so much, and this recipe is AWESOME!
ROBERT RODRIGUEZ RULES
BTW.. I use the coffee grinder for the spices. But for the garlic I buy pre-minced garlic.. saves time and much better than dried garlic powder, IMO.
I’ve made this dish since ‘04...it’s amazing
I have made this dish several times now, and the only variation that I have experimented with, is the time left marinating. I usually marinate it overnight. By the time you cut through the meat when it's done, the spices and the color of the achiote have penetrated all the way to the middle of the meat.
I'm actually making some right now.
I am 13 and i cooked this dish for my grandfathers birthday with this recipe and it was fairly easy to do but the annato seeds i had to go to some crappy mexican market to get. All i used was this video.
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.
Cooking this dish today. Instead of pork butt subbed in pork tenderloin and used jalepeno pepper with seeds for habanero. Done this a few times and comes out great.
I actually made and eat the "Sin City Breakfest Tacos" and those were damn good. I can't wait to make this one!
I love his advice on cooking. So simple and helpful. lol and that pork! Omg, why does he torture me, it's so tender.
_“not knowin’ how to cook is like not knowin’ how to fuck. you gotta eat for the rest of your life, might as well know how.”_
never saw this movie on dvd, solo en el cine, so i never saw this until recently when i got back into cooking. damn good recipe this is, and a damn great video. i can see how this video inspired a lot of ppl to start cooking!
Here in 2021 love from Scotland 🏴
You see people...you can eat good food and still look great and in shape. I feel sorry for the people that only eat jenny craig meals or diet food that doesn`t even resemble real food. You just ain`t living life if you are not eating good food. If you worried about your weight/health, EXCERSIZE regularly, drink plenty of water daily with vitamins and eat good food as long as it`s small to moderate amount. Keep active, and don`t forget about the vegies and fruits...Roberto..your the man.
I've added this one to my favs in case I wanna try it someday. Thanks for the post... it's a keeper.
This recipe is fantastic. I highly recommend making it.
Just an FYI -- The tequila he uses in this recipe is casa noble.
Also, I have made it 2 different ways- Baking and using a crock pot. The meat turns out more tender in the crock pot.
You can go on about your business...
*Zooms in on the tequila again*
Classic.
I've cooked with wine, whiskey, beer, and various liqueurs long before I was old enough to 'legally' buy alcohol. However, my daughter is just now showing an interest in wanting to learn to cook. I'm more of a Southern cook with this alternative side, which one of my dearest friends & the loss of her spirit, light, and most beautiful laugh and how she talked cont's to this day to be heartbreaking. (She fought a long hard battle to save her sight while enduring many, many surgeries to combat sight loss to Diabetic Retinopathy but ultimately she lost the battle while in her pre-teens then later it life, she began a fight for her very light after learning she had breast cancer. She fought the cancer with every ounce of energy & with every fiber in her body but ultimately in the end, cancer won the war... The one thing that gives me some sense of peace is knowing that my friend will remain immortal by the lives she touched, incl'g my own and the lives that those of us who knew & loved her share her light with others so she will live on. Since I am Buddhist, I know that we will ultimately find each other again in our next life; I just hope it is sooner rather than later in life from what it was in this incarnation) My friend always said that the gift I had for preparing Asian dishes that wasn't something I was taught; It was just something I could do but with no idea how I had this knowledge. IT was truly wonderful when we were able to slip off the Chinatown for lunch or dinner or ended up in some obscure yet amazing Japanese restaurant where the there were no chairs when thinking of the usual Americanized notion of chairs. This place had small pillows on the floor that encircled a short tables with each of these tables sitting in their own space that was separated from others by these beautiful cloths that hung from the ceiling to surround the area making it more intimate and other areas that were separated by the neighboring table setup for a couple or a group and some of these were separated by the Silk paneled dividers in order to provide privacy between groups. We went to Greek restaurants that were a lot like these, Indian restaurants, & many others. I love foods from all cultures but the fact I was able to cook some dishes without ever having learned to make them, my friend always said it was b/c there was a mistake when I was born. Somehow I was born into a Southern area with Southern family members when there was no doubt in her mind that I should have been born in NYC b/c I had the heart of a New Yorker & fit in sooo well. LOL!
But I digress...
My daughter may try to make this dish when she returns to college in another 2 months. The dorm suite she will be rooming in with 3 of her best friends, has a kitchen area where there's actually a stove w/full working oven. She's 19, and I think her dorm-mates are all 18, almost 19 to around 20 but none over 21. Is there anything she can use as a substitute for the Tequila in order to make this dish taste as it should or would it be best If I just picked up maybe a dozen 'airplane/hotel room mini-bar' size bottles of Tequila & send those with her to use when making this recipe along with a few others I have cooked before that requires Tequila to bring out the flavor? I just can't imagine her RA busting her for having what really amounts to nothing more than 'cooking sherry' or 'cooking wine' rather than having a giant bottle of Limoncello, Patron, Crown Royal, or stocking her a bar with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label! Heck, if I was going to do something of that nature, I would be having a full-size family room bar built in my home, complete with Johnnie Walker Black Label & trying a few back-channels I've had & used in the past to get my hands on Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve... LOL!
Any ideas are welcome.
Also, forgive the rambling. I've been fighting with a Lupus & Fibromyalgia flare, which comes with Lupus & Fibro-Fog, which is about the closest to feeling as if you are experiencing what it must be like for people with Alzheimer's, only without actually having the disease itself...
Everyone be warned... Anato seeds will stain EVERYTHING that isn't metal.
Thanks for the warning!
Love this montage. And this knife cut. Great!
He (and Depp in the movie), make this sound so good, I've been wanting to try to for some time now, but if it's too hot, I'll need a wimped down version! LOL! it was a great special feature included on the DVD so Kudos!
God, Robert Rodriguez is a Chef!
All I can cook is quesadillas and heat up noodles.
I think I have a new favorite film maker.
Cooked this last night. Love it
I'm making this right now, it smells sooooo good, can't wait to try it!!!
I'm currently writing my own menu and recipe book for my favorites. Thanks for the idea Rob!
this is alot of help, now i know how to cook it :D..i love it because rice is a common food in our country lol finding tequila is my only problem haha :D.. thank you very much
I've made both; the pibil is very good and of the two different kind of Sin City Breakfast Tacos, the potato & egg is best -- hell, I'm craving for one right now.
I still have to get around to making my own menu, though; that's a pretty cool idea.
I actually made this dish because I saw this on DVD about 2 years ago. It really turned out great. ;-)
fresh garlic is wedged like oranges, so its like a wedge of carlic. 8 cloves rougly equals 2.5 tbl spoons.
I love Robert Rodriguez!! The Boss!

― Robert Rodríguez
I use my coffee grinder for... uh... medicine.
Really? I use mine for marijuana.
I have the Pibil in the oven right now with some cilantro lime rice simmering on the stove, will be eating in 20 minutes, review to follow.
im prepping this dish tonight to marinate for sunday
cannot wait!
For all of us in the UK, Pork Butt is actually Pork Shoulder. Get it off the bone from a good quality butchers (please not organic) and you will not regret the extra few quid it costs...I actually found that the end taste of this recipe was a bit too pickled "vinegary" and not "orangey" enough for my taste - had this dish in Wahaca. Will probably use more OJ and less vinegar next time and put sliced oranges over the meat. But this recipe is delicious and as cool as. Hasta Luego dudes.
I've made this dish a few times following Rodriguez' recipe, it does come out great. The only thing I'd do differently it's not to go crazy with the anatto/achiote. I recommend getting the paste instead, and don't overuse the paste, it's really strong, just gently rub some on the pork. Also, ease up on the Habaneros, I just use one, lol. I also prefer it wrapped up in tin foil, the banana leaves' aroma can overpower the pork. Simple dish to make...but complex enough to impress your guests.
I have tried the dish and it is really yummy!!!
Thanks for the recipe and if possible, show us the Taquito recipe!
Just cooked this dish. The annatto seeds were hard to track down but I eventually found them (same place had banana leaves). Pretty good! Need to put some habanero seeds in next time.
Cool kitchen! Wish I had a house so I could set up like that.
You too?...haha. After I ground up the spices, I couldn't stop smelling it. The aroma was addicting, and like you mentioned, euphoric. I'm going to make it for the second time. I heard it's really good with brown sugar and/or palm sugar added to it. Balances out the spices and acidity of the citrus and vinegar. Try it sometime.
This makes my mouth water.
You can do a variation when camping with a real fire. Let the wood burn down into glowing coals. Use a shovel to move out half the coals. Follow the video directions but instead of putting in a pan wrap it all in 2-3 layers of foil. Then put the package directly on the coals. Then put the coals you layed aside back on top of the package. Cover it all in dirt. Come back in an 60 to 90 minutes. Dig in.
lol.. My friend is from Mexico and she brought Puerco pibil and I eat about 5 tacos:) It was the first time tasting it too.
@ThisIsntMyTaco
Make your rice with jalapeno and corn. It is simple. For every 1.5 cups of rice use a 7 oz can for every cup of rice Use chicken stock instead of water and chop up a couple Jalapeno peppers..seeds in or out is up to you. It goes really well with Pibil.
0:32 When you wanna say a swear but you have kids so you have to get quieter.
Chick's dig Robert Rodriguez 'cause he's got the looks
I love to cook, I am not a pro but enjoy cooking for my family. Cooking for me is a hobbie. I will definitely be cooking the Pibil. Thanks for posting the recipe,too.
still my most requested dish to make
I remember when you brought that into work one time.... Sure was tasty!
I tried to make it... it is so yummy!!!
waow !!! wrote down all the ingredients needed and i'm gonna do it for sure!
The banana leaves do make a difference flavor wise (try tamales cooked in banana leaves vs. corn, big difference), therefore make an effort to find them in your local Hispanic or Asian grocery store (not expensive). Also, before you use them you can lightly heat them over the stove top over a low flame to make them pliable and easier to handle.
i want to make both the tacos and Pibil both look so damn tasty! I think i'll start with the tacos!
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" ;^)
Yeah.. .those cloves are potent!
Robert Rodriguez is the man! This dish is fucking delicious and proudly Mexican :)
Great director and cook what can't he do.
banana leaves are a bit hard to come by in places. if you're lucky they have frozen ones at your market.but if you're unlucky there's always corn shucks.i soak them in water for a few minutes and line the crockpot or baking dish with them. a banana leaf though does have a subtle taste.. come to think of it .. so does the corn shucks.
“Not knowing how to cook is like not knowing how to fuck”
Thanks for the Post.
This had been bugging me for ages.
You have to go to a large Mexican/Hispanic market in your area to find the fresk banana leaves. Today they were $1.69/lb but are sold in bags so I had to buy a bit over 2 lbs of leaves. Call ahead, and I've discovered only the larger Abborrates (sp?)markets have it, not the smaller ones.
We have our puerco pibil marinating in the refridgerator. Even found banana leaves.
