How To make Barbacoa Mexicana (Barbecue From Mexico City)

1 Lamb, cut into pieces *
Maguey leaves Ingredients for Barbecue -Consomme * backbone, legs, shoulders, ribs, and head To further explore the international links of various cuisines, check out this one and remember a few months back when we were talking abou the Pacific Island custom of cooking in pits. I didn't realize that the Mexicans also had such a practice. Here's a series of recipes revolving around Mexican Barbacoa or BBQ. To be very authentic, use a lamb which has been slaughtered the day before the cookout and hung overnight. On the day of the big event, the animal is split into sections: backbone, legs, shoulders, ribs, and head. METHOD: We assume that no one would tackle this kind of barbecue without a large number of guests-the kind who really like to pitch in. So, the first thing to do is to set one group of your guests to digging a hole about four feet by two feet across. Other members of the party can scout up kindling and others can be set to work cleaning each maguey leaf. Once the hole is dug, it is plastered with mud to keep the walls firm. Large porous stones should then be placed in the bottom of the pit (beware of little hard rocks; they'll split open). Over the stones put enough dry wood to fill the pit, then set fire to the wood and let it burn to the smokeless coal stage. While the fire is burning down, the maguey leaves should be toasted until limp, for this will enable them to release precious juices needed to season the meat. When the fire has burned down sufficiently, line the pit with the maguey leaves, making sure that all of the mud is covered so meat will not stick to pit. The leaves should be suspended vertically, the tips overlapping all the way around and held down with stones for the moment. The next step is to lower a grate into the hole and on it place the casserole with soup ingredients. On top of the uncovered casserole ingredients, arrange the lamb pieces, starting with the backbone, then the legs, shoulders, rib sections, and the head. Do not salt meat before it is cooked, for this can toughen it. After meat is in the pit, fold the tips of the maguey leaves into the hole to cover the meat well. Over this place a metal sheet to keep any earth from seeping into the pit and then seal the pit with a coat of fresh mud and build a large fire over the metal sheet and mud cover. Keep the fire blazing for 5 or 6 hours, depending upon the age of the meat. Open the pit, salt the meat before serving it, and accompany it with Salsa Borracha*. The broth is served in small cups. * See Shepherd's Roast with Drunken Sauce for recipe. From "The Art of Mexican Cooking" by Jan Aaron and Sachs Salom. Doubleday and Company, N.Y., 1965.

Mexican-Style Pork Tacos (Tacos Al Pastor)

Here is what you'll need!

Homemade Al Pastor
Serves 10-12

INGREDIENTS
5 pounds boneless pork shoulder
3 tablespoons achiote paste
2 tablespoons guajillo chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
¾ cup white vinegar
1 cup pineapple juice
1 pineapple, skinned and sliced into 1-inch rounds
1 thick wooden skewer, trimmed to the height of your oven
10-12 small corn tortillas
1 white onion, chopped finely
1 cup cilantro, chopped finely
1 cup salsa of your choice

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
Slice the pork shoulder into about 1-cm slices, then transfer to a large dish or bowl.
In a bowl, combine the achiote powder, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar, and pineapple juice, mashing and stirring until smooth with no lumps.
Pour the marinade over the pork, then toss the pork slices to make sure that they are all coated on all sides. Wrap the dish/bowl in cling film then marinate the pork for at least 2 hours, up to 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil, place down a slice or two of the pineapple. Take a wooden skewer and push it directly in the middle of the pineapple.
Remove the pork from the fridge and push the slices through the skewer, layering one after the other until there is a 1-inch gap at the top. Push another pineapple slice on top.
Bake for about an hour and a half, until slightly charred on the outside and deep red.
Rest the meat for about 10 minutes, then carve off thin slices of the pork.
Slice off thin pieces of the roasted pineapples as well.
To assemble and serve, place some pork on the tortillas, followed by a few pieces of pineapple, a sprinkle of onions, a pinch of cilantro, then a small spoonful of the salsa.
Enjoy!
