Description

Learn how to make this 5 minute DIY Sazon Seasoning with a mix of achiote, garlic, coriander, cumin, and oregano. It’s perfect for using with red meat, rice, beans and many of my favorite Puerto Rican recipes.


Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

  1. Grind any whole spices. Start by grinding any whole spices you have. I recommend using achiote powder but if you have whole annatto seeds and need to grind them up, using a coffee grinder is the best method I’ve found. 
  2. Combine & mix. Combine all ground spices and mix until evenly combined. Store in an airtight container in your spice cabinet for up to 6 months (depending on the freshness of your spices).

Notes

You can also add a teaspoon of salt and pepper to the blend, if you’d like. I prefer leaving these out so that I have control over how much I use in the dish I’m making.
