Mexico: One Plate At A Time Episodes
A Pig, a Pit, and a Plan
Cochinita pibil. Yucatan's slow-cooked, banana leaf-wrapped pork specialty that never ceases to inspire Rick, whether he's made it in his slow-cooker, home oven or restaurant kitchen.
For Season 5 of Mexico--One Plate at a Time, Rick takes the inspiration to its pinnacle: he digs a pit in his urban backyard, lines it with bricks, builds a big fire, then slow-cooks a whole pig the old-fashioned way. Good thing he invited the neighbors for dinner!
