The only problem is i cannot find the annato seeds. I found the banana leaves at the local mexican store,along with the already made acholte spice. I would really like to make the acholte from scratch,any suggestions on where to find the annatto seeds?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757350942807174715.post-63635973162424134522009-04-13T13:36:00.000-07:002009-04-13T13:36:00.000-07:00Hi Samantha - while the banana leaves definitely impact the flavor, the most important thing is the achiote mixture. I'm sure it would still be delicious just using foil.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13599208082890099005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757350942807174715.post-58413789916806212202009-04-12T17:47:00.000-07:002009-04-12T17:47:00.000-07:00YUM!! I can not wait for it to be done!! Thank you for posting this. Yet, I do not have banana leaves on hand (I could go to Chinatown), I am just using foil.<BR/><BR/>Tho, I am sure the banana leaves give a better flavor.samantha elisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06728447381745275858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757350942807174715.post-34162637727668967762007-12-17T18:32:00.000-08:002007-12-17T18:32:00.000-08:00Great step by step and great pics<BR/><BR/>I love that video too<BR/><BR/>"if you can't cook, you can't ..."<BR/><BR/>I really love the menu part of that video too... great idea for a bunch of folks<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>MattMattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757350942807174715.post-15248669516580059242007-12-16T12:00:00.000-08:002007-12-16T12:00:00.000-08:00Yeah, banana leaves can be hard to find. We get ours at a local mexican-focused market. We've also seen them at asian markets, but they have been frozen.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13599208082890099005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757350942807174715.post-24127568859621699352007-12-16T11:13:00.000-08:002007-12-16T11:13:00.000-08:00This looks fantastic, i thought before reading on - hmm, isn't that the same dish from Once Upon a Time... and it was!! I'll try to make that soon - i just need to figure out where to get banana leaves.
