vinegar. Keep blending with a spoon until a paste if formed.Heat the oil in a sauce pan
over medium-high heat and add the paste. Reduce the heat immediately to low and stir
steadily and vigorously, scraping the bottom of the saucepan to make sure the spices do
not stick or burn. (Don't put your face over the pan, as the pungent vapors from the
spices will make your eyes water.) Stir constantly for about 8 minutes, or until the
spices have cooked and mellowed and the oil is exuded from the mixture to the edges of the
pan. Set aside to cool. When the mixture has cooled, spoon it into a jar, complete with
any oil, and cap tightly. The paste will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator and, if the

pounds of meat (more if you like it HOT).
