Rich and Savory Smoked Al Pastor

Hi, my name is Anita. I love bread baking, especially sourdough breads, cheese making and cooking from scratch. My favorite cuisines are French and Asian. Most recipes here are in English; some are in Dutch. If one is to your liking, let me know: I will be glad to translate.

This Smoked Al Pastor is a rich and savory pork with an awesome chili marinade. It’s smoky from the grill with gorgeous crispy edges. If you’re a fan of al pastor, you’ll love this smoky version of a delicious classic.
