Healthy Rican Sofrito
Sofrito is a base to add flavor to various Latin foods and dishes. However, it's so versatile, it can be used as a dry rub to marinate meats, and added in soups and stews. It also makes a great dressing and marinade when hydrated in water and/or olive oil. Our dehydrated version is great to have on hand for it's convenience and long shelf life.

How to make Sofrito Magic:
- 2 tbsp. Healthy Rican Sofrito
- 1/4 cup water
In a small bowl, mix together the sofrito and water, and prepare to be amazed. Wait a few minutes before using the sofrito in your meals. Once the water has been completely absorbed, the sofrito is ready for use. Typically sofrito is stir fried before using in foods like yellow rice, beans and stews. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
If this is your first time cooking with sofrito, check out my recipes below and on my blog!
HEALTHY RICAN'S ORIGINAL RECIPES

Simple Yellow Rice with Beans
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. oil of choice (I like avocado oil)
- 2 tbsp. Healthy Rican Sofrito (hydrated)
- 1 tbsp. Healthy Rican Sazón
- 3 cups jasmine rice or medium grain rice
- 1 can or 2 cups cooked beans of choice
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp. salt to taste, or sprinkle some Healthy Rican Adobo!

Directions:
- In a medium pot, on high heat, stir fry the hydrated sofrito in the oil until it releases it's aroma (just a few seconds).
- Quickly add the sazón, rice, beans, and broth. Mix well. The liquid should be 1/4" above the rice.
- Add the salt, or adobo. Taste the liquid to make sure you like the taste and it has enough salt to your liking. Add any additional spices to taste.
- Allow the liquid to come to a boil, and once it slightly disappears, reduce the heat to low.
- Stir once or twice from the bottom up to make sure the rice cooks evenly.
- Cover and allow to cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is soft and sticky.
P.S. This is just a simple way to cook rice and beans. Other ingredients may be added as well like; ham, diced onions and peppers, chopped cilantro, veggies and more. The possibilities are endless, and this is just a start.


Savory Chicken Stew
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp. Savory Spice Mix
- 2 tsp. garlic paste or minced garlic
- 1 small onion
- 1 large carrot
- 2 celery sticks
- 1 large potato
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions:
- Marinate the meat with the Savory Spice Mix and garlic before cooking (the longer the better or perhaps even over night in the fridge).
- Meanwhile, peel and dice all the vegetables (onion, carrot, celery and potato) into small squares. If desired, chop about 1/4 bunch of cilantro for cooking and garnish.
- On high heat, add a bit of oil to a large pot or pan.
- Add the meat and brown for a few minutes on each side. Add the vegetables, tomato sauce, broth, and 1/2 of the cilantro if using.
- Cover and cook on high heat until the chicken is completely cooked and veggies are soft and tender. Approximately 30-35 minutes. Internal temperature of the chicken should be between 165°F - 195°F.
- Uncover and continue to cook until you achieve desired broth thickness.
- Serve with your favorite rice and enjoy!
