Recado Rojo
(Achiote Paste)
Recado rojo is a spice blend featuring ingredients such as annatto seeds, garlic, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, pepper, allspice, salt, and cloves. The blend is used for seasoning, rubbing, and marinating various types of meats, and it is especially useful for barbecued and grilled meat dishes.
When combined with liquids such as water, oil, or lemon juice, recado rojo becomes a paste, with annatto seeds giving it a distinctive red color.
