Cool Chile Achiote Paste

Dilute the paste with a little lime and orange juice to marinate pork, fish or chicken for pibil dishes. It is also used as a base for other marinades when you want to impart a bright red colour, such as Al Pastor marinade.

Serving Suggestion

For 4 medium sized mackerels/ 4 pieces of chicken or 450g of pork:

Dissolve 20g of the achiote paste in a 45g citrus juice, we like to use the juice of 1 lime topped up with a bit of fresh orange juice, add 1 clove garlic which has been mashed up with salt if you wish. Marinate for 4-8 hours, then roast, grill, or barbecue.
