El Yucateco Achiote Annatto Paste 100g
A cornerstone of Yucatecan and Mexican cooking, achiote paste is made from ground annatto seeds blended with garlic, oregano, cumin and other spices. El Yucateco has been making it in Mexico for decades, and this 100g block delivers the deep, earthy flavour and signature brick-red colour that give so many Mexican dishes their character.
On its own the paste is dense and concentrated, so it is meant to be loosened before cooking. Mix it with sour orange juice, lime or a splash of vinegar to make a smooth, tangy marinade, then rub it over pork, chicken, fish or beef before grilling, roasting or slow-cooking. It is the key ingredient in cochinita pibil, the classic Yucatan slow-roasted pork, and works just as well for tacos, fajitas, grilled fish and marinated roast meats.
A little goes a long way, so one block seasons several kilos of meat.
Storage: keep the paste in its original box and plastic wrapping, somewhere cool and dry. Sealing it well between uses stops it drying out and keeps the flavour fresh.
