Ultimate Savory Onion Medley Recipe

    Cuisine:

    I've not had store-bought recaito so I can't compare this to that, but I thought this made an excellent addition to the Puerto Rican bean dish I made last night. Because I've got plenty left over, I'm scouring Recipezaar for recipes that call for it. I'll definitely use this recipe again when I need more recaito on hand.

    Recaito,There really is no translation for this mixture of onion, garlic, peppers and green herbs. Recao is culantro in Puerto Rican-speak, so this seasoning is called recaito, or “little culantro.” You can buy it in bottles in some ethnic grocery stores but why? when it’s so simple to make. Use in dishes like Cuban black beans or Puerto Rican style pot roast, where you want the flavor but not the color or extra liquid that you have in a sofrito. Culantro is the defining flavor.,I’ve not had store-bought recaito so I can’t compare this to that, but I thought this made an excellent addition to the Puerto Rican bean dish I made last night.

    6
    Done

    *** Ajices Dulces, Also Known as Cachucha or Ajicitos Are Tiny Sweet Peppers With a Hint of Heat. They Range in Color from Light to Medium Green and Yellow to Red and Orange. They Add Freshness and an Herby Note to Anything You Cook. Do not Mistake Them For Scotch Bonnet or Habanero Chilies (which They Look Like)--Those Two Pack a Wallop When It Comes to Heat.

    7
    Done

    *** Culantro Is not Cilantro. It Has Long Leaves With Tapered Tips and Serrated Edges. When It Comes to Flavor, Culantro Is Like Cilantro Times Ten.
