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
- 3 tbsp achiote powder
- 3 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- optional: 1 tbsp salt
Instructions
- 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.
- 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 usually leave these out so that I have control over how much I use in the dish I’m making.
