Achiote Marinade
Achiote marinade is a type of marinade commonly used in Latin American cuisine. It's made with a paste made from annatto seeds, garlic, vinegar, citrus juice, and a variety of spices like cumin, oregano, and coriander. The marinade is typically used to marinate meats, fish, or vegetables before grilling or roasting.
Ingredients
Method
- Heat the annatto seeds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the annatto seeds, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
- With the blender running, gradually pour in the vegetable oil until the marinade is emulsified and thickened.
- Pour the marinade over your meat, fish, or vegetables in a large dish or resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
- Remove the meat, fish, or vegetables from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Cook as desired.
