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!

This recipe is as delicious as other sazon/sofrito recipes I've used. Contrary to what others have remarked, there are references online that refer to sazon as being both a wet mix of slow cooked vegetables used as a base in many dishes (sazon preparado) and as a dry blend of seasonings used to season meats, vegetables, soups, and stews. In Dominican cuisine sofrito is also called sazon - a prepared seasoning (not to be confused with Puerto Rican sazon - a seasoning salt). Both recipe types can be found at: http://www.bigoven.com/private/sazon+seasoning-recipe Enjoy!

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

Whatever you call it, it, this is a nice complement to latin style recipes. Just watched an episode of Paula Deen where it was called sazon, too. This was the type of product they used, and it seems to have worked well in the recipe, I am cooking right now. I believe that I will find other uses for it and probably would make it regularly.
