Achiote Oil
/ 651This oil is used both to color and to flavor dishes. Use it in place of vegetable oil for South American recipes.
Ingredients:
| Qty | Unit | Ingredient | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1/2 | cup | Achiote Seeds » crushed | ||
| 1 | cup | Extra Virgin Olive Oil |
| Prep Time | Process Time | Overall Time |
|---|---|---|
| 15 Minutes | 45 Minutes | 1 hour |
Directions:
Use only Achiote Seeds that have a bright-reddish in color. Seeds that are a brownish color are old and have probably lost much of their flavor.
1. On medium-low heat, in a heavy saucepan, combine the Achiote Seeds and Extra virgin olive oil and allow to steep for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Bring mixture to a low and gentle boil while stirring continuously.
3. Remove saucepan from the heat and allow to cool thoroughly.
4. Strain through a very fine sieve and pour the strained oil into a bottle and cap tightly.
5. This oil will keep for up to 6 months if it is refrigerated and capped tightly.
6. Be sure to label and date your bottle.
