Homemade Sazon(No, It's Sofrito!)
By: Sharon123
Jan 6, 2003
Sazon is a common seasoning used in Caribbean cooking and also in Spain. Try this homemade version! Two reviewers have told me this is actually a sofrito, that sazon is a dry mix. I'm so sorry if I have offended anyone. I don't remember where I got this(some magazine long ago), so they were misinformed. I do hope you enjoy it anyway!

Nice recipe, but it's a recipe for "sofrito," not "sazon." As Chef #1286117 says, sazon is dry spice mix, basically seasoning salt. No Puerto Rican would call this sazon. Here's a more accurate recipe for homemade sazon: http://www.whats4eats.com/sauces/sazon-recipe

Excellent! I used to know a person from Puerto Rico and he showed me how to make this paste. Then he added with white rice, smalled chopped ham and some corn. It was delicious. Than you for posting it.

This is very easy and has lots of flavor. The peppers and cilantro really comes through. I did add this to white rice as posted in the picture here and made soup with it. This gives lots of flavor and color to whatever you add it to.
