If you’re craving bold, smoky, and sweet flavours, these Pork al Pastor Tacos are a must-try for your next taco night.

We’ve partnered with recipe developer and cookbook author Saskia Sidey to bring vibrant Mexican-inspired flavours to your table, combining succulent marinated pork, juicy pineapple rounds, and crispy bacon – all roasted to perfection and served in soft tortillas.

This recipe utilises the clever features and accessories of the Richmond Deluxe Zoneless range cooker that make cooking impressive meals a dream. Starting on the FreedomFlex™ true zoneless induction hob, you’ll heat chillis and garlic for the marinade with precision and ease – the hob's adaptable surface allows you to place pans anywhere on the hotplate, maximizing space and flexibility without being restricted by rings.

Next, the Steam and Infuse™ accessory shines as the pork skewers – layered with smoky bacon and sweet pineapple – roast to perfection. Designed to add moisture and enhance flavour while ensuring beautifully tender meat, this tool is the ultimate secret weapon for restaurant-quality tacos at home. 

Roasted in the multifunction oven until slightly charred, the result is a vibrant, flavour-packed taco filling that will have everyone reaching for seconds.
