a Mexican paste used in cooking and coloring some traditional Mexican dishes. Serving size depends on how much would be needed for the dish/es you plan to make.

1/2 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon oregano, yucateco toasted in a heavy skillet (or Mexican oregano)
1 teaspoon cumin seed
4 tablespoons annatto seeds (aka achiote)
12 whole allspice
1/2 teaspoon peppercorn
3-6 tablespoons water or white vinegar (vinegar's better)

Directions

1
Grind all the spices in a blender or mortar and pestle until fine, then pass through a sieve to remove any stems or shells. Grind and strain again until until they're very fine.
2
In a small bowl, add water or vinegar to the spice mix. Mix until it becomes a stiff paste.
