| Annatto
Seeds A must for South American, Caribbean, Mexican, and Spanish cooking. From Peru. To make achiote (annatto oil): Mix 1 /2 Cup annatto seed and 1 Cup vegetable oil. Over very low heat simmer 10 minutes, strain out seeds, refrigerate. Use to impart red color and pungent flavor to rice or polenta, for frying chicken or fish, and braising pork or beef for enchiladas. |
