Subject: Annato Seed Recipes
I just bought annatto seeds to make achiote paste. I'd like some
additional recipes for these annatto seeds (and that can include your
favorite achiote paste recipe, too). Could someone help me, please? Thanks
so much!

Annatto Oil
The ochre hue characteristic of so many dishes of the Caribbean and Latin
America comes from annatto. Annatto seeds, also known as achiote, deliver
a mildly pungent flavor, but not a spicy one. Use this infused oil when
cooking rice, or brush it on chicken or fish before you put them on the
grill.
1/2 cup annatto seeds
2 cups pure olive oil
Toast the annatto seeds in a heavy saucepan until they just start to
smoke. Add the olive oil. When the oil begins to simmer, remove from the
heat and allow to cool. Strain the oil and store in an airtight container
in a cool, dark place for several months.
