Directions
- Saute/fry onions and peppers until soft but not browned. Stir in raw rice and cook a few min. Add in the stock and annato oil and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer till rice is tender. Let rest off heat 5 min. Fluff with fork. Season to taste. Stir in thawed green peas.Flavorful, colorful and delicious.
- Annato oil* annato seeds are achiote seeds. The seeds are simmered in oil to extract the orange yellow color used in many Hispanic dishes. The colored oil may color grains, pastries , vegetables or possibly even add in a golden brown yellow color as a poultry baste. to make oil: Bring 1 c. oil ( I use olive ) with 1/2 c. annato seeds to almost a boil. Simmer 5 min. Strain oil and cold and chill. Use about 1 to 2 tsp in rice dishes.Annato tends to be bitter, so use sparingly. In small amounts no bitter taste is noticed. Of course tumeric and curry do color and flavor but yuou may like to try this for a pleasant change.
- Note: annato really stains, so becareful not to spill it !
