Aliños is a seasoning mix paste that my grandmother kept in her refrigerator year-round. I use it as a base in some of my recipes and to marinade meat or poultry.

½ medium red pepper, chopped
½ medium onion, chopped
4 scallions, chopped
½ teaspoon cumin
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Cup water
½ tablespoon sazon Goya with azafran
DIRECTIONS
1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process to make a paste.
2. Transfer to a glass jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

waoh! I thought my father was crazy for wanting to cook food on an open fire here in states…now I know is part of our culture. I’m going to try to make sancocho for my niece who was born here, Wish me luck!
I wanted to thank you for your recipes. Keep up the good work
Seems like all colombian households have this in their fridge!!!! It’s the start to the majority of all my meals. I was made in Cartagena Colombia but born in the USA!!!!! So proud of my heritage!
Erica, I am married to a Colombian and wanted to find recipes to hopefully make for him (wish me luck!). Thank you so much for posting all of these great recipes. Merry Christmas to you!
I just wanted to share a tip for the aliños. Since it only lasts about a week in the fridge, many of us don’t really use it all and end up just tossing it away. You can still make the same amount but whatever you have left you can just put in the freezer. What I do is use an ice cube tray and put a tablespoon in each cube. Whenever a recipe calls for it, you can just throw in as many aliños cubes as you need in the pot or melt them in the microwave.
Diana- Thank you for your tip!
Gracias Erica, yo me chupo los dedos con todas tus recetas, se ven tan faciles!! Espero que el huracan no este cerquita tuyo , pues dices que vives en el Este.
hi, i have a quick question…do i have to use the sazon? is there another alternative. sazon is pure msg and i have a sensitivity to it. thank you
Christine- You can use achiote powder or color. Or just omit the sazón goya.
