MAKE IT! Longaniza update

I realize that not everyone has access to (or the inclination to buy/use) a sausage stuffer. I don't want to inhibit people from making this month's recipe due to lack of equipment. While I was researching Longaniza, I ran across a note by Rick Bayless saying that you can make longaniza as an unstuffed sausage. Instead of stuffing the longaniza into casings and drying for three days, simply place it in a colander over a bowl in the refrigerator for 2 days. Then you can use it in tacos or burritos or with rice and beans or on nachos, whatever you like. Be creative!

Glad to see the unstuffed version because there was no way for me to try the stuffed one but now...no excuse!

So, I'm trying to make the Longoniza, but forces seem to be against me. I can't find Seville oranges, so bought the stuff for the substitute. Now I can't find the achiote paste. I will keep looking...

Wendy,
Do you have a Whole Foods nearby? They carry ground annatto seed, you can substitute 1 tsp whole (grind it with mortar and pestle before you add it) or ground annatto seed for the 1 TBS achiote. Our Whole Foods carries both ground and whole annatto in the spice section (the ones that come in the little green boxes). I

I'm not sure how far this is from where you live, but it's the closest Mexican Market to Lake Oswego (La Mexicana Variety Store in Milwakee)

Also Yesenia's Market on SE Powell & 67th.
