Recado rojo
None
Recado rojo or achiote paste is a popular blend of spices . It is now strongly associated with Mexican and Belizean cuisines , especially of Yucatán and Oaxaca . The spice mixture usually includes annatto , oregano , cumin , clove , cinnamon , black pepper , allspice , garlic , and salt . [1] [2] The annatto seeds dye the mixture red, and impart a distinctive red-orange color to the food.
The paste is dissolved in either lemon juice, water, oil, or vinegar, used as a marinade for meat, or rubbed directly upon it. The meat is then grilled , baked , barbecued , or broiled . Sometimes, it is added to corn dough to create a zesty flavor and color in empanadas and red tamales . It may also be an ingredient when making tacos al pastor [3] or chorizo . [4]
