recaito and sofrito for Caribbean cooking??

Question

Can you use these condiments for baked pork chops? sauteed chicken? I see that it is used for rice and beans, but what about meats? Any ideas, especially with pork would be helpful

Answer 1

I wouldn't recommend sticking some chuletas in the oven after dumping sofrito on them. However, you can make tons of great sauces with the sofrito or racaito first, and THEN put them in the oven. Fry either sofrito or racaito with 2 tbsp of oil, some adobo, sazon, pepper, salt, and, depending on which meat you use, the appropriate bullion. For example, throw some cubitos de pollo in if your using chicken, or de carne is your using steak. You can also add some garlic, onion, or green and red peppers. Let this cook on medium for about 5-10 minutes, and add a cup of water. Add a tbsp. of tomato sauce, and once the sauce has thickened, pour this on top of the meat you're baking. Allow to back for the appropriate time.

Answer 2

you can use them both on any meat.marinate the meat in both condiments,for a few hours.
