Description
This is a plan-ahead meal. Cochinita Pibil is a traditional Mexican dish that is slow-roasted pork with pickled onions. This recipe takes an hour to prepare and will be a decadent and savory dish the family will love. You will need a pressure cooker and to prepare the pickled onions ahead of time so they have at least 12 hours to marinade. The pork also needs to rest in its marinade overnight. So this is the perfect dish to prepare the day before you want to serve it.
