    Advance preparation: The seasoned pork must be refrigerated wrapped in the banana leaves at least 6 hours or overnight before cooking, and cooks for 5 hours. Can substitute pork shoulder for specified "end of pork loin with fat" (center cut pork loin will be too dry); hot paprika for seco chiles; and citrus combination (p.28) or mild vinegar of your choice for Seville oranges.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.
