The written recipe omitted the most important ingredient - the recado rojo. Also, the video doesn’t show how to make it. Useful.

We just added the recado rojo/achiote paste amount into the recipe! thanks to all who caught the omission! R
So thankful for these videos featuring Rick! You can feel the passion and love for their craft oozing out of them-its a real pleasure to watch and learn from!
I aspire to be like Rick. I want to live my best life in Mazatlán, eating good food and having fabulous nails. Love you, Rick 💕
Rick! That looks delicious as always! Loved the Choco cameo and how you got all together to enjoy the meal. Can't wait for the rest of the recipes!!
I stumbled on to your channel and ended up with a good feel - of food, the sea, your house, relationships. I am staying .
Love Coco waking up when the pork was pulled off the grill. Yeah, good boy knows what's coming.
What a great show. Makes me want to travel to Mexico.
I LOVE cochinita pibil. Thanks so much for this!
Cochinita pibil is so amazing, I'm allergic to oranges but I still eat it when I get a chance, with some antihistamines on hand.
I've never successfully made this, even though it's my favorite taco! So thanks for making this video. Also your nails look fabulous today!
You make these wonderful foods so accessible. Thank you! (Oh, fzn banana leaves are also often found in Asian markets.)
I'm loving this series so much!
Every episode makes me so hungry and more and more excited for your cookbook. I can't wait to get my copy!
As a Yucatecan I approve this
Citrus vibes for the gods. Aesthetically pleasing ingreadients - even raw pork has that muted Opera Rose pink tone.
I like how video chefs today are not shy about talking about their swaps. Even Pepin in his old PBS shows: "And I have one fully prepared right here". But some also actually go through the trouble of putting it to marinate, stopping filming, then restarting the next day and stuff. Point? If you're doing a swap, say you're doing a swap.
Your friends/crew are so lucky to work with such a brilliant chef!
love love your co host choco..... such a beauty
Best shirt yet!
I spent a month in Merida with my husband and kids in 2017, and we became obsessed with cochinita pibil. The last week we were there a friend of a friend came over and taught us how to make it. This was a great refresher!
Thanks Rick, I am just one step away from being a better cook than my own mexican Mother haha. I made it for her tonight and was amazed I can cook like that (thanks to you). I literally feel like a Chef with a Michelin Star 👨🍳 Thanks homie 🫶🏻
UGH this is so good. Can't wait for the book 🤩
One of our favorites for company - I make mine in the instant pot. BTW, your doggy is adorable.
Can we talk about how cute the dog is!?! He’s a good boiiiii 💕
The grapefruit sounds good. I love this dish. I also have some pork butt, achiote paste and Meyer lemons.
This rules. My favorite restaurant that did a cochinita pibil burrito closed down during COVID. I haven't had one since.
Cochinita Pibil is my favorite Mexican dish! Can’t wait for the Tabasco episode! ⭐️ love this series

I love pork shoulder, and this is another way for me to enjoy it!
Thank you forthe great post. You always put a smile on my face watching you cook! Ordered your book btw….
I'm suprised at the similarity here with cuban pork. Not the same, but basic flavors are there. I wonder if there is a relation somewhere or if it's just sour citrus's and garlic are super common and they both kind of just developed similarly. Pork not being native implies a spanish influence, maybe Pernil. Very interesting. That looks delicious! Definitely going to try this.
Absolutely loving all of these recipe videos!
Ooooo... love it!
His dog during story time, adorable!
Thanks for this! Made this for my birthday!
This looks and sounds amazing!!
You had me at pork Rick!
Love this series!
Thanks Rick for this great video. I have always been a bit intimidated to make cochinita pibil but your video really makes me feel inspired to give it a try.
Rick, I am going to do this, as soon as I can get banana leaves I'm going to be allll over making this! XOXO love your recipes!!
Holá Rick 😉 This sounds awesome! I'm loving the seasonings.
I love Rick's show, cookbook, dog, house and nails. I wonder what the point of the BBQ is for an enameled cast iron with a heavy lid. I'd think that if you are using a heavy lid to lock in moisture, then you are using a heavy lid to lock out mesquite smoke.
2 weeks ago came back to israel after 3 months in mexico Already miss mexico I'll come back soon, hopefully get to Mazatlan also
Thanks! This is great!
This cochinita pibil looks amazing!! What was it that you put inside the mason jar when making the onion curtido? And BTW, LOVE the color of ur nail polish! ❤️
Such good content. Thank you
So fabulous! Cannot wait to get the book!
that nailpolish looks SO GOOD on u
"This is the best this dish has ever been, anywhere. In fact it's too good. It's so good that when I'm done I'm going to pay my check, walk in the back and..."
God, I want Rick’s life. Also, I think I know what my Cinco de Mayo menu is gonna be
Wow great timing! Going to the Yucatan soon (Merida) and will definitely check out the food suggestions! Any other recommendations for what to eat in the Yucatan??
I want the pickled? onions and oranges? recipe. Looks bright and delicious.
One of my new favs
Clever placement of book ;). But it's apparently not out yet. Made me mark it at bookstore so I'll get notification.. Anyone know when it will be released?

Thanks for watching! Rick's Mi Cocina cookbook comes out on May 3.
Looks yum.. Can the smoky flavour our get in through the dutch oven? Can I put the cooked meat on the BBQ for a few mins after for a bit of extra smokiness? Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video Rick.
I love your cooking shows and I love your shirts. Where do you get them?
That looks so good!! Are banana leaves the same as plátano leaves?
How is the charcoal grill “smokey flavor” going to get into the meat with the lid on? The heavy cast iron lid that’s locking in all the moisture is also locking out all of the charcoal grill flavor. Might as well save time and effort and cook it in the oven… or leave the lid slightly off on the grill.

That’s what I was wondering. There’s no way any smoky flavor got inside the pot, through the banana leaves into the meat.
@charlesa99

Came to comments to ask the same question. I’d assume that the lid would have to be slightly askew to allow any charcoal aromas into the pot. Otherwise, moot point in cooking method. I’m ready to try this!
Wondered what happened, I watched you on the Babish channel for a while. Then you disappeared. Glad to find you again.
I’ve been wanting to try a pibil marinade on some codornices (game hen). You think this type of marinade will pair well with a game hen? Thanks.
OKAY BUT WHAT NAIL COLOR IS THAT? I'm obsessed
Hey Rick! Is there a vent or hood somewhere in this kitchen? How do you cook like this without smoking out the house??
The recipe looks delicious, wish that you would share all the ingredients 😅
Where is the recipe for the salsa? It’s not in the description or in the website linked :(
Can you provide me with the nutritional information for your recipe featured in Real Simple May 2022... "Cauliflower Tacos all Pastor", please. It is also in your book Mi Cocina. I have yet to purchase this amazing book. It is on my with list.
Do you Know Royi i really love this brand!
you wear two different colored rubber gloves while cutting hot peppers. rick you are beautiful. besides adding flavor, i wonder if the banana leaves have this nice side affect where they soak up excess grease so the final pork doesn't end up in a huge puddle of grease.
Any suggestions for achiote paste substitute? My stores don't carry that ingredient I soooooo want to make this recipe
@boricua_in_wa

Get online. Amazon carries.
Any thoughts on frozen vs. fresh banana leaves?
I'm confused. Where does the achiote come in? I thought that was a hallmark of this dish?

Can you make pibil with something like mushrooms? I'm a vegetarian and would love to adapt the recipe.

I like to see somebody cooking with nice nails....pretty!
How much recado rojo ?
I made a similar recipe a few weeks ago, but as a northern plains resident, I lined the Crock-pot with banana leaves...

Drama? You, Rick? Bahaha
TikTok has ruined me. I read "citrusy" as "citr-ussy," as in, "He put his whole citr-ussy into that"
So this recipe channel is made up of different cooks.
Secret Ingredient: wut?! Edit: yeah it's not in any of the recipes, nor in CC, so I am at a loss... mass of red veggie matter, so not the spice mix, so...?
What's up with this fixation of calling it "THE Yucatan"?? It's just Yucatán.
I love your nails
