Recaito with Culantro
Recaito, a pungent mixture of culantro, cilantro, onion, garlic, and pepper, is a staple ingredient in many Puerto Rican and other Latin dishes.
Instructions
-
Place all ingredients in a food processor; pulse 8 to 10 times or until mixture is finely chopped, stopping twice to scrape down sides.
-
Spoon mixture by 1/4 cup measure into heavy-duty zip lock freezer bags. Flatten to remove air. Store in freezer until ready to use. Thaw at room temperature.
Notes
Don’t confuse culantro with cilantro. Culantro has long leaves with tapered tips and serrated edges.
