Chicken Al Pastor With Dani Goldblatt

This episode is packed with gems! Naomi and Dani Goldblatt of Holy Smokes – the first frum female pitmaster making waves in LA – team up for a taco Tuesday upgrade: chicken al pastor. (Never heard of it? Just hit play!)
Dani brings her science teacher background to the kitchen in the coolest ways and shares hacks you’ll actually use (yes, your onions will sauté faster!) as well as her #1 must-have tool.
Warning: this recipe is messy and not for the faint of heart, but the flavor payoff and showstopper result make it totally worth it!

Yes there is! Some do think that it's enough to wash them well...
