Al Pastor with Pineapple-Jalapeño Salsa
RECIPE THANKS TO PERSON FIERI
Level: Intermediate
Overall: 7 hr 25 minutes (includes marinading time).
Active: 1 hr 15 minutes.
Yield: 6 to 8 portions.

Active ingredients.

1 pineapple.
1/2 cup fresh orange juice.
2 tablespoons white vinegar.
2 teaspoons ground cumin.
2 teaspoons kosher salt.
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano.
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika.
4 cloves garlic.
2 chipotle chiles in adobo plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce.
1 sweet onion, half rough sliced and half carefully diced.
One 3-pound bone-in pork butt (cross-cut shoulder works well).
Canola oil.
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock.
Warm corn tortillas, for serving.
1/4 cup sliced fresh cilantro.
Pineapple-Jalapeno Salsa, dish follows.
Cotija cheese, collapsed, for serving.
2 limes, cut into wedges.

Pineapple-Jalapeno Salsa:.

2 cups small-diced pineapple.
1/2 cup small-diced white onion.
2 tablespoons carefully chopped fresh cilantro.
2 tablespoons minced jalapeno (seeds gotten rid of).
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice.
1 teaspoon kosher salt.
1 little red chile, seeded and minced.

Directions.

Trim the bottom of the pineapple and stand it upright. Eliminate the rind in large pieces, cutting deep enough to eliminate all the prickles; reserve the rind. Quarter the pineapple and eliminate the core. Approximately slice half of the pineapple; reserve the other half for the Pineapple-Jalapeno Salsa.

To a blender, include the orange juice, vinegar, cumin, salt, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic, chipotles and adobo sauce, the approximately sliced sweet onion and the sliced pineapple. Mix until smooth. Place the pork butt in a big resealable plastic bag and include the marinade. Seal and cool for 3 to 4 hours.

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set a large Dutch oven over high heat and include adequate canola oil to cover the bottom. Eliminate the meat from the marinade and wipe off the excess. Add to the pot and burn on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Pour in the chicken stock and the marinade from the bag (the liquid should come midway up the meat; add a little water if required). Give a simmer, then position the reserved pineapple skins, skin-side up, over the top to cover. Place, exposed, in the oven and cook up until the skins are deep brown and the pork is fork-tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours (tent with foil if required).

Dispose of the rinds and approximately chop the meat into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with a little braising liquid and keep warm.

Serve the pork in warm corn tortillas. Garnish with finely diced onion, cilantro, Pineapple-Jalapeno Salsa and cotija. Serve with a squeeze of lime.

Pineapple-Jalapeno Salsa:.
Yield: 6 to 8 portions.
In a medium blending bowl, integrate the pineapple, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, salt and chile and blend well. Allow to sit for 10 to 20 minutes before serving so that all the flavors combine together.

  1. Made this salsa in the late 80’s @ the Hyatt. Love it! I’ll make the marinade instead of using a dry rub for the pork the next time. 😄I know that it’s yummy!!!

  2. Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 4 sentadillas son unos LIKESEX.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesv abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k

  3. Wow, looks super delicious! An excellent tacos recipe, making me hungry! 🙂

  4. I’m not big on Guy’s recipes but I sure love his dedication to teaching viewers and offering reminders and tips.

  5. Great recipe! I will disagree with one comment that many may have missed. IMO, limes (and citrus in general) is NOT great for the compost. First, it takes to long to break down. And second, it acidity messed up the PH balance in your soil. Other than that, this recipe looks delicious!

  6. Great recipe, apart from leaving meat to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours or more. Great way for bacteria to thrive, obviously not ideal, especially if you live in a warm climate.

    1. The acid wouldn’t allow that, and it’s being cooked down either way.

  7. Having lived in Mexico for many years, I absolutely love my tacos el pastor!! 😍 I will make this. Thank you Guy! 😋

  8. Ah…..the “citric squeezer” dilemma: We cut both ends of the lemon/lime/fruit, then cut it in half and use it face up so the bulb goes into the cut part of the fruit (how it was suppose to be, I mean you don’t make orange juice with the cut part of the fruit facing outward, you put the cut half toward the bulb) 😁
