Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hi Christie, You will have to make a fine powder with the mortar and pestle. Place the ground achiote in a bowl with enough lemon or lime juice and a little water to make a semi-thick marinade (not runny like water). You can add crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, squeezed garlic, finely minced cilantro. This is very tradition of Yucatan Mexico. Drain your tofu, poke some holes in it with a fork and rub the paste marinade all over it, let it marinate for 1-2 hrs and grill or cook. This is good rubbed on potatoes and roasted. Have fun as you make your taste buds dance, Donna Well you can bump and grind and it`s good for your mind well you can twist and shout let it all hang out. But you won`t fool the children of the revolution No you won`t fool the children of the revolution No, no, no!

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Thanks, Donna - I shall try that out on some roast potatoes later in the week if it gets any cooler.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 you can pan roast them on the stove top. Use a heavy skillet with a little oil and I mix a bit of water. Achiote rubbed thick slices of potatoes and put in the pan on low with a lid. Just turn them about every 15 minutes until they are all cooked and crispy. I think you will enjoy this spice a lot.
