RECADO ROJOR / ACHIOTE PASTE
Originally a Mayan blend, it is now strongly associated with the Mexican cuisine of Yucatan. Achiote paste that is an ingredient in Mexican dishes and marinades. Posting for future use in this Challenge http://www.food.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?p=5340511#5340511 Spices are annato, coriander, cumin, peppercorns, oregano and cloves all of which I have on hand so no need to buy it made.

Steps:
- Grind the spices (annato, coriander, cumin, peppercorns, oregano and cloves) in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle.
- Blend the ground spices with remaining ingredients until it is smooth.
- Moisten with the vinegar or bitter orange juice so that you have a smooth paste.
- Form the paste into small disks or balls and let them dry, or put the paste into an airtight container to dry. Whether dried, or as a paste, the recado will keep for several months when refrigerated.
- To use, mix with more Seville orange juice.
- Rub the mixture onto chicken, pork or fish and let it marinate for 4-6 hours then cook as usual. Or use the achiote as an ingredient in another dish.

TRADITIONAL ACHIOTE RECADO
Steps:
- In a small saucepan bring water and achiote seeds to a boil. Cook seeds, covered, at a bare simmer 30 minutes and remove from heat. (Steep seeds 2 hours, or until softened.)
- Heat a dry comal or flat iron griddle over moderately low heat until hot and pan-roast garlic and onion, turning them occasionally to ensure even roasting, until browned and soft throughout, 25 to 30 minutes. Discard garlic skins.
- In a small heavy skillet dry-roast oregano over moderate heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes and transfer to a small bowl. Cool oregano completely and in an electric coffee/spice grinder grind fine.
- Drain seeds and in a blender or food processor blend with garlic, onion, oregano, and remaining ingredients until smooth. (Recado may be made 5 days ahead and chilled and covered.)
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.
