Lamb Barbacoa In Adobo Recipe

Recipe By Pati Jinich

Barbacoa is one of those iconic mexican foods. Juicy, tender meat that falls off the bone, infused with a rustic, smoky flavor and a jungle like fragrance. It uses a cooking technique that began in ancient times, long before the spanish arrived, and it lives on to this day across mexico in places that specialize in making it. Of course, there are accessible homestyle versions too.
