Memorial Day Weekend So Far....

Had some some friends come up from Austin to stay the weekend with us. They came up Friday. Another of our friends was celebrating her 40th birthday on Saturday, and our outdoor kitchen had just been completed the weekend before, so it was the perfect storm to do a lot of cooking.
Friday I broke in the wood fired oven with some pizzas. Had made some homemade pancetta and used that as a topping with caramelized onions and Alfredo sauce for the adults, cheese pizza for the kids. Fire control is a learning curve, but pizzas turned out great.
Saturday we had a big party. I put a 14lb brisket on at midnight Friday and had plans for a cochinita pibil as well. Glad I had the pork butt, because the brisket didn’t finish up until 8 o’clock on Saturday, so 20 hours. I was stressing but most of the attendees were well lubricated already and the pork tacos held people over until the brisket was ready. Ended up being a great time. Pics to follow in next post.

Cochinita pibil was actually pretty easy. The hardest part for me was sourcing a couple of the ingredients. The marinade is 2 packages of achiote paste which I found on Amazon, half a cup of orange juice, a quarter cup of lime juice, cumin and coriander. You put it in a roasting pan wrapped in banana leaves (found at my local supermercado), and the foil over that. I put 2 cups of water in the pan to steam and keep things moist before putting the foil on, and into the oven at 325 for about 5 hours or so. Served on corn tortillas with some pickled red onions and queso fresco.caliking said: -
Very nice, and everything looks tasty. It was just me and Bride of Teefus this weekend. Locally sourced Brats on the Weber Saturday, pork butt on the Egg Sunday, and burgers on the Weber Monday. Not fancy, but we ate well.Michiana, South of the border.
