Adobo De Achiote

Ingredients: 2 Tablespoon(s) Achiote Seeds 2 Teaspoon(s) Allspice 1 Teaspoon(s) Black Pepper 1 1/2 Teaspoon(s) Mexican Oregano 3 Tablespoon(s) Cider Vinegar 6 Garlic Clove, Peeled 1 Teaspoon(s) Salt Directions: THE SPICE GRINDER METHOD: In a spice grinder, pulverize the achiote as finely as possible, then dump it into a small bowl. Pulverize the allspice and black pepper (if you're using whole) along with the oregano, and add to the achiote. Sprinkle in the cider vinegar and mix thoroughly (it'll be a damp powder at this point and won't hold together). Roughly chop the garlic, sprinkle it with salt, then, right back to your cutting board, use the back of a spoon or the side of a knife to work it back and forth into a paste. Little by little, work in the spice mixtire (it probably still won't hold together). Last, work in a tablespoon or two of water, if it's needed to give the mixture the consistency of a thick paste. THE MINICHOPPER METHOD: Pulverize the achiote, allspice, peppercorns and oregano together with the sharp blade. Add the vinegar to the spices, along with the garlic and salt. Pulse until the garlic is roughly chopped, then let the machine run until everything is as smooth as possible. Dribble in a tablespoon or two of water, if its necessary to bring everything together into a thick, pasty consistency. ADVANCE PREPARATION: This seasoning will last for several months in the refrigerator, if tightly coverd (I suggest a small jar).

More than a pinch of fresh achiote gives any dish an exotic. earthy perfume that to me is as captivating as good, musky saffron, it's certainly less expensive. You'll know you've got fresh achiote when the little chalky-feeling seeds have a punchy aroma and a vibrant rusty color that's more red than orange. Though in Oaxaca they make "pure" achiote past (it has only a little salt, sugar and acid added), it is the Yucatecan garlic-flavored, spice-riddled achiote past that most Mexicans use. Even in the States Yucatecan achiote past is available in most Mexican groceries. Homemade achiote paste has the brightest, most concentrated flavors (some of the commercial brans contain fillers), and it's really very simple. Smeared over fish before it's grilled, slathered on pork before it's braised or roasted, stirred in tamal dough before it's steamed -- achiote reveals the genius of Mexican cooks. Not spicy-hot here, but spicy-complex without chile. My version nods more in that direction than some I've encountered. Silvio Campos, a Yucatecan who came to Frontera Grill to make his famous pork pibil, made his with double the achiote of mine and half the spices. Try that version for an even more true-to-achiote flavor. NOTES : Achiote is the saffron of Mexico, If it's not fresh or if it's used in tiny pinches, the orangey color is all you notice.
