Pati's Mexican Table

A Family Affair

Pati visits Chef Wilson Alonzo in his hometown of Halacho to prepare a traditional Cochinita Pibil in an underground pit. They begin at the local market to source ingredients. Then Pati helps Wilson prepare the achiote marinade, along with his grandmother who taught him traditional cooking and isn't shy to correct him. The final product is a meal that captures Yucatan's history in every bite. Recipes in Pati's Kitchen: Colada Black Beans; Pibil Picadillo; Chunky Tomato and Habanero Salsa; Salbutes
