Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- โ cup annatto seeds
Method
- Add the olive oil to a saucepan on medium heat.
- Allow the oil to heat through for about a minute.
- Once the oil has heated through, sprinkle in the annatto seeds and stir a few times.
- Immediately reduce the heat to low (very very important) and let the seeds simmer until bubbles begin to form and the colour of the oil is a redish hue (use a non staining spoon to check the readiness).
- Once the oil is ready, remove it from the stove and allow to completely cool.
- Once the oil has cooled down, use a jug and fine mesh strainer to extract the oil and discard the seeds.
- Pour the oil into a mason jar/oil dispenser/bottle of your choice.
- Store and use accordingly
