El Pastor

Somebody learn me about El Pastor. I’m wanting to smoke it and the toss it on the rotisserie… I think.

Have watched this one several times on the Food Channel. Looks so great when they do it!! No help other than that.

It's one of my most favorite things to eat. Go buy a pork butt. I forgot I was supposed to send you some achiote paste. I will send you some tomorrow and a recipe for it.

I’ve been wanting to build a rotisserie just for al pastor. I watched a video of one made out of a beer keg, charcoal fed. Really cool cooker.

Do you have a Mexican market close?

Pastor from Michocana is legit and I know you can find one of those. Skinner seems to have this covered though so good on him. Damn good dude right there

Not a great one

Propane tank. This is what I want, on a larger scale.

They should at least have achiote paste. Some pineapple is needed too.

Looks great

Here you go Wade. Her recipe is real close to mine. I leave out the oregano, and I like to put a whole red onion and a whole head of garlic in mine. I also use a little chipotle in adobo sauce. Also like my marinade to be a little thicker, so adjust liquid to your liking. Just be careful with that pineapple juice. It works great and has a great flavor, but if you let it marinade for too long, your meat will turn to mush. I like a min of 12 hrs, max of 24 hrs on your marinade. Slice a pork butt to 1/4" steaks (or less) and marinade. Stack tight on spit.
