Achiote Paste Spice Mix
For Mexican CookingDescription
A tasty, colourful and flavoursome blend of spices to make traditional Mexican Achiote Paste.
Mexican food is so much more than Tex-Mex, and cooks are discovering the great variety of Mexican recipes hitherto underappreciated.
Along with our Mole Poblano and Guacamole blends, our new addition to the Herbie’s range is this Achiote Paste Spice Blend, increasing our commitment to the cuisine of Latin America.
Description & Use
Never heard of achiote? It’s made by grinding annatto seeds to give a distinctive flavour and that reddish-gold colour so beloved in Latin America in all sorts of foods. Annatto seeds are quite often called achiote, which is not strictly correct, as they are simply an ingredient – it can be a bit confusing.
ACHIOTE PASTE
- 2 tbsp Herbie’s Achiote Paste Mix
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
Combine all ingredients to make into a paste.
Use Achiote Paste to add vibrant natural colour and a mild very tasty flavour and enticing aroma to a wide range of proteins, whether barbecued, roasted or pan-fried.
- Rub the paste onto chicken, prawns, fish, pork or beef, let stand in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to one hour before cooking.
- The blend can also be used as a dry rub.
