Jamon al Pastor

Cultural Context

Originating from the Lebanese shawarma, al pastor was adapted by Mexican cooks in the early 20th century, using marinated pork cooked on a vertical spit. This dish is a staple of Mexican street food, often served in tacos with fresh toppings. Today, it is beloved not just in Mexico but has also gained popularity in various parts of the world, showcasing the blend of cultures and flavors.

1

Introduce the recipe and ingredients for the ham al pastor.

2

Prepare the chiles by removing the seeds and cutting them into smaller pieces for easier cooking.

3

In a pot, add enough water to cover the chiles, garlic, and chopped onion, and bring to a boil until softened.

4

Transfer the softened chiles, garlic, and onion to a blender along with the cooking water, chicken seasoning, apple cider vinegar, achiote, and crushed pineapple. Blend until smooth.

5

Place the ham in a roasting pan and generously coat it with the prepared adobo sauce, ensuring every slice is covered.

6

Cover the ham with aluminum foil and bake in the oven at 350°F for 30 minutes per pound, totaling 1 hour for a 4-pound ham.

7

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and baste the ham with the adobo sauce every 15 minutes to keep it moist.

8

For the last 15 minutes, stand the ham upright to simulate a trompo al pastor and cover it with pineapple slices, securing them with toothpicks.

9

Baste the pineapple with the adobo sauce and return the ham to the oven uncovered for the final 15 minutes.
