Recaíto (Puerto Rican Culantro Sauce) — a recipe imported from the Wikibooks Cookbook.

Ingredients

  • 1 head of garlic
  • Olive oil
  • 20 culantro leaves—find this at local Latin or Asian markets
  • 1 small bunch of cilantro
  • 1 large green bell pepper, seeded, diced and with the white pith from the inside of the pepper removed.
  • 13–15 large sweet aji peppers, seeded
  • 2 small Spanish onions, diced

Instructions

  1. 1
    Slice off the top of the head of garlic to expose some of the cloves inside. Place the head on a piece of foil. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in the foil. Roast until cloves are lightly browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
  2. 2
    Remove the roasted garlic from the oven and simply pop the individual cloves out of the roasted paper outers. They should come out easily.
  3. 3
    Combine 2 tbsp roasted garlic, culantro, cilantro, bell pepper, aji pepper, and onion in a food processor or blender.
  4. 4
    Pulse 15 times or until consistency is almost smooth.
