Sazón Seasoning

Cumin-heavy sazón, along with Adobo (right), is among the most commonly used spice blends in Puerto Rican cooking. It’s also popular throughout Latin America, and commercial brands are widely available. This is my take on sazón, which includes turmeric 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 airtight container for years
