Ингредиенты

  • 1/2 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1/2 tablespoon black peppercorns

  1. Preparation Instructions
  2. Grind the first 6 ingredients to a powder in an electric spice mill. Achiote seeds are very hard, so it will take a little time. Crush the garlic with the salt in a mortar, then gradually work in the ground spices. A hot red chili pepper could be added; crush it with the garlic. Moisten with the vinegar or bitter orange juice so that you have a smooth paste.
  3. 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 if refrigerated.
  4. To use, mix with more Seville orange juice.
  5. Helpful Hints
  6. The recado is essential to the local Spanish specialty in Seville, pollo pibil (chicken wrapped in banana leaves and steamed or baked). Fish can be cooked in the same way, and the mixture gives depth to soups and stews.
  7. Special Equipment
  8. If you don't have an electric spice mill, a regular coffee grinder works well. However, it's hard to get the spice flavor completely cleaned out, and you may decide to keep one for spices and a different one for coffee beans.
