Mejor Achiote paste para cocinar en casa

Para qué sirve Achiote paste, en qué cocinas aparece y dónde encontrarlo.

Por qué empezar aquí

Annatto ground with sour orange and spice — the red that makes Yucatán cochinita look like itself.

In Mexican cooking, Achiote paste is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.

Loosen with sour orange or vinegar and rub on pork. The color will stain a board and a fingernail. That is how you know it is working.
