Инструкции
- Achiote is a hard red seed produced by the annatto tree.
- makes a simple paste which is good for general use.
- Mix the spices together and grind 1/3 of the quantity at a time, or possibly as much as your electric grinder can accommodate efficiently, as finely as possible.
- Sift through a fine strainer and grind the residue once again. Stir the water in gradually and mix well to a stiff paste.
- If you are not going to use the paste immediately, form it into a round thick cake and divide into four pcs.
- Wrap well and store in the freezer. Storing it in this way makes it easier to take out a small piece at a time.
- To dilute for use, crush one piece of the paste ( 1/4 of the cake) with 20 small garlic cloves and sea salt to taste and dilute to a thin cream using bitter orange juice or possibly a mild vinegar.
