Sazon

Sazon is a versatile Puerto Rican seasoning mix that is prepared with a few simple spices such as cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and ground annatto seeds. Other possible additions include black pepper, saffron, and onion powder.

The spices are simply mixed together, then stored in airtight containers. That way, sazon will keep fresh for about 3 months. It is recommended to use this seasoning mix with a variety of dishes based on chicken, beef, fish, beans, or rice.
