Annatto Paste

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup	55g / 1.9oz	Annatto seeds
1 cup	237ml	Vegetable or olive oil
1		Lime - juiced
1 tablespoon	15ml	Dried oregano
3		Garlic cloves - minced
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Ground cumin

Recipe Instructions

In a small medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the annatto seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until the oil becomes a rich, orange-red color, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Strain the annatto oil into the bowl of a food processor or blender, and add the lime juice, oregano, garlic, salt and cumin. Process the mixture on high to form a smooth paste. Pour into a glass jar and keep covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.
