Caramelized Oaxacan Al Pastor

Method

1. Start by prepping your corn tortillas, lime, cilantro so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fennel bulb in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the al pastor and let it caramelized, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the black pepper along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a grating of hard cheese and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
