Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon annatto/achiote (15g)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder (8g)
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder (7g)
  • ½ tablespoon cumin powder (3g)
  • ½ tablespoon ground coriander (2.5g)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano (5g)
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro (0.4g)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (2g)
  • 1 tablespoon pink salt (18g) optional

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to the spice/coffee grinder
  • Mill into a ground consistency
  • Store in an airtight container for several months and use accordingly

Notes

  • You can purchase annatto from a Latino supermarket or buy it online.
  • Don't forget to utilise the substitutes if you cannot obtain annatto (saffron thread, paprika, turmeric)
  • The use of both onion powder and pink salt is optional. Some people like to omit the use of salt and add it on an individual basis. I personally prefer to include all the listed ingredients during the preparation stage. 
  • Mix your sazon together either by hand, mortar and pestle or using a spice/coffee grinder.
  • Store your homemade spice in a glass jar
  • To avoid volatility do not store in direct sunlight 
  • The spice mix should last up to a year. Don't forget to label it!
