Description
Goya Recaito is the secret weapon in countless Caribbean and Latin American kitchens. This 4-ounce jar is packed with a vibrant blend of cilantro, onions, green bell peppers, garlic, and other aromatic herbs and spices. Unlike sofrito, which is tomato-based, recaito focuses on fresh, green flavors, providing a bright and herbaceous foundation for your dishes. Think of it as a concentrated burst of garden-fresh goodness, ready to elevate your cooking.
Using Goya Recaito is incredibly simple. Just add a spoonful or two to your stews, soups, rice dishes, beans, or marinades. It's fantastic in arroz con pollo, sancocho, black beans, and even as a flavor enhancer for grilled meats and seafood. For a quick and flavorful marinade, mix recaito with olive oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let your protein soak in this mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling or baking. You can also use it to create a vibrant chimichurri sauce by adding parsley, oregano, and red wine vinegar.
While the exact nutritional information may vary slightly, Goya Recaito is primarily composed of fresh vegetables and herbs, offering vitamins and antioxidants. It's a low-calorie way to add significant flavor to your meals. The ingredients include cilantro, green peppers, onions, water, modified food starch, garlic, salt, vinegar, citric acid, and sodium benzoate as a preservative.
