A classic food in Belize: Stew Chicken with Rice &; Beans, I've searched many recipes, and I have to use Recado Rojo. There is no detailed record of it in Du Niang, but its introduction can be found in the English Wikipedia:

Recado Rojo is a mixed spice closely related to Mexican and Belize cuisine, which is generally made up of annatto (carmine), oregano (oregano), cumin (cumin), clove (clove) and cinnamon. Black pepper, allspice, garlic, Garlic and salt. Among them, carmine seeds can dye food with a unique orange color.

We can find the formula of Recado Rojo, so my mother is so excited that she quickly prepares all the above raw materials, and then prepares them in the amount of one teaspoon per serving. However, as a result, the results of the first preparation, applied to Stew Chicken, produced a burnt smell. ?

what's the matter?

It turned out that I was too excited to read the whole Wikipedia, and there was a paragraph behind it: The Paste is Solved in That Lemon Juice, Water, Oil, or Vinegar, Used as a marina de for meat, or Rubbed directly upon it. It was supposed to be dissolved in lemon juice or water or vinegar. It seems that even a small seasoning can't be sloppy.

So, I started again and diligently searched for a more practical formula of Recado Rojo, instead of tinkering with it myself? (T? T) Finally, in a book about spices by Jill Norman-"Herbs and Spices: The Cook's Reference", I found a relatively feasible formula and the materials were easy to find, so I made the above flavor Recado Rojo.

it was a success this time! The Stew Chicken made is amazing-at least I think so. I love this combination of him and red bean rice. No wonder Stew Chicken with Rice &; Beans (stewed chicken with red bean rice) will become a must-eat food for everyone who goes to Belize.
