Love this!
This is literally the BEST ingredient if you want delicious pulled pork. Mix this block in a blender with orange juice, pepper, salt, oregano, mixed spice, and cumin. Then spread the marinade all over a 2-3kg joint of pork shoulder, leave overnight then cook in the oven on 160 for 3-4 hours. The result is delicious pull apart pork with a 'next level' flavour!!

The perfect product for cocinita pibil.
Save yourself time by buying the achiote paste instead of annatto seeds. They are as hard as a brick and a pain to prepare. This makes preparation of cocinita pibil a walk in the park. Great flavour and colour, this is the real deal. Very much recommended.

Achiote
I followed a friend recipe and achiote was one of the ingredients, I didn’t get very flavoured meat, will try next time with different brand

Cheap and easy achiote paste
Living in the UK it can be difficult to get anything close to the ingredients for Mexican food, so this is a really nice substitute for fresh achiote peppers. I use about a teaspoon to substitute for 2 peppers and while it's not a perfect substitute, it's the closest I've found.
