SAZON (THE DRY MIX)
Found at Whats4Eats.com. This is a recipe a lot of people have been looking for; I hope it's what everyone wanted. If you can't find annatto, substitute paprika. NOTE: This is a copycat recipe, which is why the amount of salt is so high. If you want the same taste as commercial brands, use it all. If you don't want so much, feel free to adjust it to your taste, or leave it out entirely.

SAZON
This is a copycat version of sazon, which I always use in Puerto Rican dishes. Other versions of this recipe call for only paprika or turmeric. I find adding both achieves the reddish-orange color without affecting flavor. The salt in this recipe can be reduced or omitted as many dishes call for additional salt. I prefer to omit and just add salt as needed to dishes while I'm cooking. I hope you will enjoy it!

SAZON DRY SPICE MIX
Sazone without MSG. Toasting the peppercorns and cumin enhances and intensifies the flavors. Adjust amounts to taste. It's a good alternative to seasoning salt and can be used as a rub. If using in rice dishes, frajitas, burritos, vegetables, enchiladas, beans, etc., add the sazon a pinch at a time to make sure the food doesn't become too salty. The optionals are not usual to sazon, but for me--the unknowing, it ups the anty.

Steps:
- To toast the peppercorns and cumin seeds, heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Place whole spices in the skillet and stir until very fragrant and the color of the cumin begins to deepen (be careful not to overcook or burn). Remove from heat and cool. Use a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder to grind into powder.
- Mix all ingredients together; store in covered container.
SAZóN
Cumin-heavy sazón is among the most commonly used spice blends in Puerto Rican cooking, and is also popular throughout Latin America. This seasoning is an incredible cheat, and is typically found in the international section of most supermarkets. Commercial brands are flavor bombs pumped with monosodium glutamate - MSG - that can make almost anything taste better. While I'm not MSG-phobic, I do prefer making my own blends to control both the flavor and the salt content. This is my take on sazón, minus the MSG, and with turmeric added along with the standard annatto to imbue dishes with a golden hue. Adaptation is encouraged based on preference, and if you can't find ground annatto then sweet paprika is a perfect substitute. It will keep in an air-tight container for years.
