MEXICAN ANNATTO/ACHIOTE PASTE, ADOBO MEXICANO DE ACHIOTE MOLIDO
Everyone asks me what is Achiote or Annatto? Sometimes I refer to it as in packets of Goya Sazon seasoning with culantro and achiote. Achiote trees grow abundantly in most tropical locations. The trees produce pretty flowers as well as seed pods in which you will find a bright red pulp as well as red seeds. These seeds are used...

Steps:
- 1. First lightly toast in a dry frying pan Annatto seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, black peppercorns,and cloves. Do not scorch just lightly heat to bring out the flavors. Pour into a spice mill or coffee grinder and pulverize.
- 2. Next add the sour orange juice or combination orange juice and lime juice and vinegar into a blender add the oregano, salt, garlic, and jalapeno or serano chiles and blend until all the garlic and peppers are liquified. Add the ground spices and blend again until all is smooth.
- 3. Rub this marinade onto chicken, pork, fish or beef. Put into a large plastic freezer bag and let marinade overnight. Next day grill or bake or cook as you like. You can add a little or a lot of heat by adding a one or more jalapenos, or serrano peppers to the mixture when blending. Just remember by taking the seeds out from the peppers you will get the flavor but not so much heat. If you leave the seeds in then you will get much more heat. You can also opt to use only one chile pepper if you do not desire a lot of heat. Enjoy
- 4. I will post an actual picture of annatto /achiote seeds tomorrow.
