Servings: 5 tablespoons
Calories: 13kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Achiote powder (aka annatto), *see Notes
- ½ to 1 Tablespoon Salt *See Notes
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Cumin Seeds Ground
- 1 Tablespoon Coriander Seeds Ground
- ½ Teaspoon Turmeric Ground (optional)
Instructions
- If you use whole spices (for more quality), dry fry them first in a pan to release flavors and to get them crispy. Leave to cool and grind to a fine blend.
- To make a quick sazon seasoning, use spice powders. Mix in a bowl to a well combined seasoning blend.
- Store in a glass jar away from direct sunlight, humidity and heat.
Notes
- It's easy to work with powdered annetto seeds. It's called either annetto or achiate in stores.
- Turmeric is optional. It adds a yellow color to the spice blend and to your food, but it's not a Hispanic ingredient. This is a goya copycat recipe, and they usually add artificial food coloring.
- You can adjust the salt quantity to your needs. You many want to use less salt if you are going to use the seasoning in rice dishes, etc. Add the bigger quantity of salt if you will use it as a meat rub. That said, you can always add more salt if required.
