How to make the real pibipollo from the peninsula:
1
Preparation of the meats, once both meats are cut into pieces, cook them with enough water and salt.
2
Preparation of the dough, add the lard, its special touch is when the dough does not stick to the hands, little by little add salt to your liking, apart from a blender, mix lard and the marinade or achiote, enough to remain of a reddish color, add it to the dough little by little and stir well.
3
For the thickness of the broth, take a little dough and beat it in a little cold water, add little by little to the broth where the meat and turkey or chicken are being cooked, this broth must be boiling, add and stir continuously to avoid lumps are formed, and go proving that it is well salted. Once this is prepared.
4
Let’s go prepare the pibipollos in a mold. Fryers, casseroles or molds.etc. The roasted banana leaves must be ready to put them in the fryers so that they cover them.
5
Put a quantity of dough and spread it out so that it covers the entire mold, this layer must be thin so that it is well rounded, once finished add slices of tomato, onion, episode, habanero chili, all this must already be cut into slices, in episode it is only its leaves that are used, not its stems.
6
Add the thick sauce combining the meats in equal parts, once this is done add again, tomato, onion, episode and chili.
7
Separately, make a thin tortilla on a banana leaf of the same prepared dough and the same size as the shape of the pipe, cover it and line it with the same banana leaf, once the amount of pubis that you are going to make is finished.
8
They go to the oven, in the peninsula it is customary, to make a hole about 20 to 30 cm deep, where stones and a lot of firewood are put and the pubis are placed there on a sheet and then covered with another and on top is added earth and tree branches, so that the heat does not escape in an approximate time of 3 hours, to avoid this, it can also be done in the oven of the stove, at the cooking time is almost the same 3 hours, at maximum of the capacity of the oven but you have to be watching it very often, the touch when it should already be toasted, is taking out a mold and with a knife lift it from the edges, when it gets up almost everything is that it is already, and good luck.
