directions
- Using a food processor, grind all the meat seasoning ingredients into a paste. Rub the seasoning paste over the surface of the meat after pricking it with a fork.
- Wrap the meat in foil and let marinade while you prepare the clay.
- Combine the dry ingredients for the baker's clay.
- Add liquid in small amounts until dough holds together and can be gathered into a ball.
- Roll the dough out to a measure of 20 x 18 inches. Arrange roast in the center of dough and fold dough over the roast. Seal seams of the dough and place the roast on a baking pan lined with foil--seam side down.
- Roast the meat at 350-375 degrees for 2 1/2 hours (you may want to insert a thermometer to check for doneness).
- Remove from the oven and crack the clay in several places using a hammer.
- Peel off the foil and allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve with tortillas, beans and salad.
