Recaito is a delicious onion-based green sofrito found in many delicious and traditional Puerto Rican recipes like vegan arroz con gandules. The recipe includes onions, culantro, sweet pepper, bell pepper and garlic.
While culantro is ideal for sauteing, you could swap it for cilantro.
Culantro can be found in the International section of the produce aisle or in a supermarket with international ingredients.
Yes, I added frozen garlic to this recipe, but you can use fresh garlic.
Sofrito can be saved in the freezer for a few weeks and made in big batches. Ideally when the ingredients are in season.
