Super easy recipe btw, but as suggested in the comments, I added a few more ingredients.

It's Turkey Stock day! :love:
I made so many things out of leftovers, turkey pot pie, turkey & leek shepherds pie, turkey + brie + cranberry sauce paninis. I'm pretty sick of turkey right now, truth be told. :rofl:

Cochinita Pibil is a staple in our house. Always have some in the fridge or she is making a batch.
It was highly requested that I make cochinita again, and it's so easy and I had a pork shoulder I needed to cook, so I made another batch today. Holy fucking shit, 100x better than last time. Literally 100x better. This is something I'll be making regularly as well lol.

I won't make it with pork loin again, I'll tell you that much. I'm starting to learn a lot about braising. It's something I'm glad I learned because it's teaching me a lot about building flavors and cooking and different cuts and just everything about cooking in general.

Pork shoulder is key to anything like this.

I used loin last time because I was specifically looking for recipes that use pork loin and it came up. I'll stick to roasting or grilling that cut from now on. I'm just an amateur cook at this point, so I don't know the intricacies, but now I'll be much more thoughtful on how I treat specific cuts.

General rule of thumb is fattier cuts are better “low and slow” and leaner cuts are better cooked quick

Nearly everyone on this site is an amateur cook. keep doing your thing, you seem to have found something you like

You’re doing great. We’re all amateurs :p

Took the day off and decided to smoke a pork butt. I think I finally perfected it. This was off the damn charts good. Better than anything I've had at family, friends, or a restaurant. Combined it with a homemade vinegar sauce and was :yum: Also made smoked Mac and cheese since I was in the mood for it. Make this a few times a year, always a hit. This was definitely the least healthy meal I've eaten this year. I'm going to be sick the rest of the night :o
