Ingredients
Achiote Oil
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup annatto seeds
Achiote Paste
- 1/3 cup annatto seeds
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 3 tbsp paprika
- 2 tsp Mexican oregano (dried)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
Instructions
Achiote Oil
- Bring the vegetable oil and annatto seeds to a boil in a small saucepan. Turn heat off and steep, uncovered for 5 minutes.
- Let stand until it comes to room temperature and strain oil from seeds into a squeeze bottle. Discard used seeds.
- I keep in a plastic squeeze bottle and use that as needed near my stove top. Good for 1 week.
Achiote Paste
- Grind the annatto seeds to powder in a spice or coffee grinder.
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl until a paste forms.
- Stays fresh for 2 weeks if wrapped well and kept in the refrigerator. This makes about 4 ounces or 1/2 cup total.
