Ingredients for Achiote Honey Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons achiote paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1-2 tablespoons water

How to Make Achiote Honey Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of achiote paste, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of honey until smooth.
  2. Gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of water, whisking constantly, until you reach your desired consistency. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more as needed for a thinner glaze.
  3. Brush generously onto your protein of choice during the last 5-7 minutes of cooking. For extra flavor, baste the meat several times while it cooks.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
