Description
Annatto seeds come from the fruit of the annatto tree, an evergreen native to Mexico, Latin The us, and the Caribbean. In these regions it’s used as both a spice and a colorant, adding a golden-orange color to the dishes through which it sounds as if. In Puerto Rico it’s used to paint the oil through which rice is cooked; in northern Mexico it’s used to make achiote, a paste for marinating meat, fish, and poultry; in Yucatan, it’s used as a dye for cloth. To make achiote paste, combine INDIA TREE Annatto Seeds with Mexican oregano, cumin seeds, peppercorns, and whole allspice. Grind this mix in an electric spice/coffee grinder, sift and grind again. Add only enough water to the ground spices to make a paste. Store within the freezer. To make use of, crush a small amount of paste with garlic and sea salt, thin with mild vinegar or bitter orange juice. Allow the meat to marinate on this mixture for 1 or 2 hours, or overnight, before roasting or grilling. Heat INDIA TREE Annatto Seeds in oil, then use the oil so as to add aroma and color to a chicken dish; grind them with other spices and add to a slow cooking Mexican bean dish; grind them to powder and whisk into a grilled tofu marinade.
