Don't know if this has been posted, but this is a small featurette on the DVD for "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" featureing the director Robert Rodriguez

5T whole annato seeds
2t whole cumin seeds
1T peppercorns
8 whole allspice seeds
1/2t whole cloves
Grind the above in a spice mill/coffee grinder.

2 Chopped habanero chiles, stems and seeds removed (keep the seeds if you like it hot)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup white vinegar
2T salt
8 cloves garlic
Combine these with the spices from above in a blender, and puree

Juice of 5 lemons
splash tequila
5 pounds pork butt, cut into 2-inch cubes
Combine all ingredients in a Zip-Lock bag and mix well

Line a 9x13 pan with banana leaves; add the pork mixture; fold over the leaves to cover, then cover tightly with foil.
Bake 4 hours at 325
serve over rice.

I haven't had a chance to try this but would love to know how it turns out.
