- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 1/2 tablespoons achiote (annatto) seeds

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let stand for a minute.
Strain the oil.
Serves: Makes 1 cup of achiote oil.
Notes
Do not overheat the oil and seeds. Overheating will turn the seeds black and the oil green. The oil will be ruined.
Used to flavor and color many dishes such as yellow rice.
You can keep achiote oil in a jar with a tight lid at room temperature for 4-5 days.
