Roucou aka Achiote or Annatto Extract | CaribbeanPot.com

Uncle Chris thanks for the recipe! I was born in Curaçao now living in The Netherlands. My Mom would heat a neutral oil slowly with the Roucou. It will colour the oil and this oil would be used for fish and stews. I’ve never seen it done with water. You live and learn 😀. Great. Love your videos🍀🇳🇱🌷❤️😘

Brother as you live you learn. I never thought it was this easy to make this. Thank you for the upload ❤🇹🇹.

I'm overjoyed to get this instruction on making Roucou. This could be a real game changer for me 😊 Thank you.

Great video, Chris. Your channel makes me appreciate Caribbean cuisine even more, and this here is a great example of why. In Belize, we also use the annatto seed, but we make more of a paste from it and we call it "recado". It's crucial to many Belizean dishes. I don't know that I've ever seen it made this way, or as another one of your viewers shared, with oil. Thanks for sharing this, bossman!

Thanks for the video! How do you cook with it I have had a dry pack for months and don't know what to do with it!? 😂

Interesting on how to get the colors out

[andycalimara]

I make it the Puerto Rican way with oil instead. I’ll have to try this.

[verascanterbury]

Thanks for this I never did it like this before

[nphipps]

hi Chris, can you do it again like your father, i just want to see if there will be colour on the seeds or black

I've been looking for achiote (rocou) paste which is used for Mexican Al pastor recipes. I think they take the seeds and grind them into a paste. In this recipe seen here are the seeds discarded after?

[HeatherHarrooWaldron]

If I grind before straining will that change the flavor of the rou cou?
