ACHIOTE MARINADE (RECADO)
It's hard to put my finger on what it is about this marinade that makes it so good. It could be the earthiness of the annatto seeds, but it could also be the sweet tanginess from the vinegar, cumin, and orange juice. Whatever it is, you will love it on your chicken, fish, or pork, as much for its flavor as for the striking deep red color it will pass on.

Steps:
- Crush the salt into the garlic using a mortar and pestle until a paste forms.
- Add the annatto seeds, cumin, oregano, and black pepper and mix well.
- Pour in the vinegar and orange juice and stir well.
- Allow the marinade to sit for 5 minutes before using. You will notice that the marinade will become thicker after it sits for a few minutes.
- If you are not going to use it right away, transfer the marinade to an airtight container and refrigerate.
- INGREDIENTS
- Annato Seed
- This seed, which is also called achiote, gives off a musky and earthy flavor. It comes from the annatto tree and is used for both its flavor and red coloring. It is fine to use annatto powder, but the ground seeds are a much better option. The seeds are rather hard to crush by hand. If you do not have a spice grinder, use your blender to create the powder.
- TECHNIQUES
- Making a Garlic Paste
- When you crush salt into a peeled garlic clove, the garlic will let go of its moisture and turn into a paste. This technique somehow magically mellows out the pungent flavor of raw garlic.
- While you can create the paste using a knife (continue chopping a peeled garlic clove over a small mound of salt until you achieve a paste), a mortar and pestle is the easiest and best way to make the paste.
- ADVANCE PREPARATION
- This marinade can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- This marinade goes incredibly well with chicken, fish, and pork.
ACHIOTE SAUCE

- In a medium saucepan, over medium-low heat melt the butter. Cook the onions until soft and translucent, 12 to 15 minutes.

Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring and skimming frequently, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook at end for 2 to 3 minutes. Puree in a blender or food processor. Store in refrigerator 2 to 3 days.

Achiote paste can be found in the spice section, or meat section, in Mexican markets. I also saw a recipe on Zaar foor it. This is a great marinade for skirt steak, but is also good with pork and chicken.

Achiote powder mixed with other spices and herbs can be turned into a paste to marinate and give a smoky flavor to meats, fish and poultry. This makes enough marinade for about one pound of meat.
