Recaito (Puerto Rican Sofrito)

I ️ love my Puerto Rican culture! Recaito is the secret base to a lot of popular and flavorful Puerto Rican dishes. I use recaito in my soup, pastelillos, and arroz con gandules. I add a little tomato paste to the recaito to make it a sofrito. Check out the recipe below.
