Al pastor adobo

Popular throughout Mexico, this deep red adobo gets it’s colour from the achiote paste. A slightly bitter and acidic paste made from annatto seeds. Combined with spices and some Mexican chillies with a touch of fruitiness from the pineapple, it’s perfect lathered on slabs of pork to make al pastor tacos or painted on fish or prawns to add instant flavour before they hit the grill!
