Cochinita Pibil is a traditional Mexican dish from the Yucatán Peninsula made from marinated pork that is slow-cooked until tender. The meat is seasoned with Achiote (annatto seed paste), citrus juices (usually bitter orange), and a Blend of spices, then wrapped in banana leaves and traditionally cooked in a pib, an underground pit oven. The dish is known for its vibrant orange-red colour, aromatic spices, and succulent texture.
It is also known simply as Cock-A-Leekie
