Made Better With Sofrito.
Sofrito is where the flavor starts. These Puerto Rican favorites use that aromatic base to build deeper flavor into rice, beans, stews, meats and holiday dishes.
Cook with sofrito
Season the rest
your way.
Use Sazón De Casa sofrito as your shortcut to fresh peppers, garlic, cilantro and recao that normally take time to prep from scratch. Then season the rest of the dish the way your family likes it. Every kitchen makes it its own.
Arroz con Gandules
A Puerto Rican table classic with tender pigeon peas, seasoned rice and sofrito built right into the base. This is one of the clearest examples of why sofrito matters: it flavors the whole pot before the rice even goes in.
Pernil
Slow-roasted pork shoulder with crisp edges, tender meat and Puerto Rican seasoning all the way through. Sofrito adds fresh garlic, herbs and peppers to the marinade and gives the roast an aromatic base before it ever reaches the oven.
Pollo Guisado
Comforting Puerto Rican chicken stew with potatoes, tomato and sofrito simmered into every spoonful. It is weeknight food, family food and the kind of pot that makes the whole kitchen smell good.
Habichuelas Guisadas
Creamy, savory Puerto Rican stewed beans built on sofrito, tomato and pantry staples. Serve them beside white rice or spoon them over rice so the sauce soaks into every bite.
Carne Guisada
Tender beef simmered slowly with potatoes, tomato, vegetables and sofrito. This is a deep, savory stew where the fresh aromatics become part of the sauce instead of sitting on top of it.
Pasteles
A Puerto Rican holiday staple made with seasoned masa and a deeply flavored meat filling. Pasteles are a project, but sofrito does some of its best work here because it brings garlic, herbs and peppers directly into the filling.
Asopao
Somewhere between soup, stew and rice, asopao is rich, comforting and made for a bowl. Sofrito gives the broth its first layer of flavor before rice, chicken and the rest of the ingredients join the pot.
