With its delicate, mild peppery flavor, this deep golden yellow to orange red spice has often been used as a coloring agent dating back to the ancient Mayans and Caribs. Common in Puerto Rican and other Caribbean cooking, it is widely used with rice, polenta, beans, chicken and fish stews, soups, pork, yucca and potatoes. Often used in the form of oil, its rich golden orange color brightens up vegetables, rice, chicken and meats when fried.
