@mamafish, That red sauce is what I described as “sofrito” in the post above. Basically, those same ingredients I listed in this post, make up sofrito. Sofrito is made of: oil, vinegar, sazon, tomato sauce, tomato paste, recaito/sofrito, and olives. Hope that helps!

I had the priviledge of living in Puerto Rico for a year while my husband was stationed at Rhamey AFB. We lived on the economy and loved getting to know the people there. I learned to love the beans and rice they made there (red sauce). The neighbors would bring me a jar of the sauce but would never teach me how to make it. I would love to learn even now and it has been 42 years since I lived there. I have been trying to find out what was in the sauce by talking to people from Puerto Rico or those who had lived there. Anyone willing to teach me? Lois

@rachel-asouthernfairytale, That’s great Rachel! What type of dishes do you use adobo for? Btw, I still have to try that grilled cheese w/ bacon & spinach you recently posted about. It sounds divine.

I have never made Puerto Rican food before. I’m doing a series on my blog where my husband and I try food from the International aisle at the grocery store, though, and I’m definitely going to have to try some Puerto Rican recipes!
