Pork Roast Yucatan Style image

This recipe comes from a Calfornia Rancho cookbook. You actually make a baker's clay to cook it in. The result is a very moist, flavorful meat--and very fun to "crack" out of the clay.

Time 2h25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (3 -4 lb) pork roast
2 tablespoons achiote paste (known as adobo-check in the Mexican market or section)
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
aluminum foil
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 1/4-1 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • Using a food processor, grind all the meat seasoning ingredients into a paste. Rub the seasoning paste over the surface of the meat after pricking it with a fork.
  • Wrap the meat in foil and let marinade while you prepare the clay.
  • Combine the dry ingredients for the baker's clay.
  • Add liquid in small amounts until dough holds together and can be gathered into a ball.
  • Roll the dough out to a measure of 20 x 18 inches. Arrange roast in the center of dough and fold dough over the roast. Seal seams of the dough and place the roast on a baking pan lined with foil--seam side down.
  • Roast the meat at 350-375 degrees for 2 1/2 hours (you may want to insert a thermometer to check for doneness).
  • Remove from the oven and crack the clay in several places using a hammer.
  • Peel off the foil and allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • Serve with tortillas, beans and salad.
