Recado de especie - spice recado
The influence of Syrian immigrants in Mexico is well illustrated in this recipe by the choice of spices like saffron and allspice. This simple recado is usually rubbed on small pieces of meat (steak, skewers) which are marinated for a short time and quickly pan fried.
This spice paste also adapts nicely to many recipes for soups and stews and keeps well in the freezer.
