Servings:
Makes about 1 cup Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoon achiote (annatto) seeds
Preparation
Baking Directions:
Heat the oil and annatto seeds in a small skillet over medium heat just until the seeds give off a lively, steady sizzle.
Don't overheat the mixture or the seeds and oil will both end up discolored and unusable.
Once they really get sizzling, remove the pan from the heat and let it stand until the sizzling stops.
Strain the oil and discard the seeds.
Store the oil for up to 4 days at room temperature in a jar with a tight fitting lid.
