Mexican Style Pulled Pork

Unknown
edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
Tonight I'm doing a butt IAW a recipe from Bayless' new book, Mexico-One Plate At A Time. The butt is covered with achiote paste, and will be wrapped in banana leaves. I'm wondering if I should add the usual amount of smoke-wood (pecan/apple), or will the smoke defeat the flavors that the banana leaves provide? The recipe doesn't address smoke.

    George, can't answer your question, but I would live to see some pictures of what you are doing - before and after! Sounds like my kind of cookbook :~]

  • Gfw, I don't do the camera stuff anymore....have three 35 mms and a bunch of lenses in the closet, but never got interested in the digital activity. The book, ISBN 0-684-84186-X, has pictures, excellent descriptions, and instructions. It might be available at your local library. Have you seen Bayless' TV cooking series? He did this one on one of the shows.

    George, I saw parts of it and really kind of enjoyed the show. I'll probably hit Barnes and Noble this afternoon - Amazon has a 3 week back order - must be a good book!
