It’s a tragic story. I was preparing the sauce/marinade for tomorrows dinner. Mostly because I wanted to know how much of the orange juice I had left to drink but it turned out good that I started because it was a flop. I followed the recipe using the ingredients I had and it was not even remotely close to what they had. It was supposed to be purée, whereas I had floating orange paste in juice. I looked into it and realized the paste I was using (which was labeled achiote paste) was not at all like the achiote paste the recipe needed. Not even close. Mine was pig lard colored with annatto. The real one is ground annatto seeds with spices and sometimes water or citrus juices or something else to make it a paste. And ofc, conveniently, no place that I googled near me listed achiote paste as something they had. So I had to resort to Amazon and hope it comes soon enough because I have banana leaves in the fridge and now a citrus juice, garlic, and other spices mix in the fridge to use with the paste Gotta love naming conventions right?

Realistically though I did get a bit lucky. While it would have been luckier to get the real thing at my store instead of something different with the same name, at least the one from my store was easy to separate from the spiced liquid (since it really is just lard practically). So I can reuse that liquid for the actual paste when it arrives hopefully and I won’t need to redo that part and waste the liquid If it was different than the paste but also dissolved into the liquid that would be much harder.

still sounds like quite the gymnastic to me vikki! I mean, you obviously possess advance cooking skills gurl! And you most definitely deserve your own late afternoon cooking show! I'm subbed!
