Annatto Oil
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2001
1 cup vegetable or olive oil
1/2-cup annatto seeds

In a small heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the annatto seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until the oil becomes a rich, orange-red color, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain the oil into a jar, discarding the seeds, and keep covered in the refrigerator.

Use as directed in recipes.
