Equipment
- mortar and pestle
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup kosher salt reduce to 2 tablespoons if using MSG (see note)
- 2 tablespoons granulated garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ground annatto
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper optional
Instructions
- In a mortar and pestle, grind the salt until fine. This breaks the salt down to the same size as the ground spices.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, annatto, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and black pepper (if using).
- Whisk the spices together until blended well.
- Transfer the sazón to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in a cool, dark place for 6 months or less.
- Use as desired; 1 1/2 teaspoon equals one packet of sazón, while a portion size is 1/2 teaspoon.
Notes
Traditional Sazón: reduce the salt to 2 tablespoons and add 2 tablespoons of Accent flavor enhancer (MSG) with the onion and garlic powders.
