    Anyone who is a fan of Colombian cuisine has probably tried the famous "Hogao", a Colombian Creole Sauce. It's on virtually every menu of Colombian restaurants around the world. The ingredients may vary slightly, depending on the Colombian region of origin of the Hogao.

      Erika, I was born in Colombia too, and it has been a while since I tried an Hogao like the one you have in your Hogao sauce recipe. This one looks pretty good too! Thank you for your posts!
