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

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!
Jolanda says
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!
Diana Lopez says
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.
Erica says
Diana- Thank you for your tip!
Luz Adriana says
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.
christine says
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
Erica says
Christine- You can use achiote powder or color. Or just omit the sazón goya.
Clarissa delacruz says
I make my own sazón Goya in a jar. I stopped using goya seasonings because they are not healthy at all. For color You can also use turmeric. My Colombian dishes still taste delicious.
Suzanne says
Can I use Sofrito or Recaito in replacement of this?
Erica says
Suzanne-It is different, but you can use sofrito.
Aimee says
Erica, when you say to use 4 scallions, do you mean four little pieces of the scallions that come in the bunch or 4 bunches? I made this and it is watery..not like a paste.
Erica says
4 pieces.
Irma niño says
Where can I find condiments from Colombia besides Sazzon .I love the comino in colombia where can I order online. I live in Houston Texas. Thank you.
Alan Bowman says
There are a number of Colombian restaurants in Houston. In my experience there is often a food store adjacent or nearby. If neither is apparent go into the restaurant and ask.
Maryut says
Erika, at my in-law’s house, in Cali, they make this salsa aliños, but they cook it in a little oil and once cooled, store in the freezer wrapped in foil.
Cam says
Thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes. And Maryut, thank you for the tip on storing it.
Sonrisa says
Hi Erika!
What do you suggest to use instead of Sazon Goya? It’s first ingredient is MSG and that is SO unhealthy! 🙁
Erica Dinho says
Achiote.
Jenne says
An msg alt to sazón is made. Some stores carry it in MD and SC. It is by Badia and is called sazón tropical. It has been a good alternative.

My mom made aliños colombianos the same way. I love this site…the best traditional colombian food.
Nelly says
I was just wondering if you are able to link or post all recipes that will use this sauce? I have made and am looking through your website and trying to see which other recipes use this sauce, but it is taking time and I still have not found any. Or at least let me know what else I can use it for…I would just hate to waste it or have it sit in my freezer.
Thanks! 🙂
Erica Dinho says
Hi Nelly, You can use it to make soups, stews or to marinade meats and poultry.I have some recipes with a link to aliños.

I usually make the Puerto Rican version of this which they call ‘sofrito’ so glad to have found a Colombian version (which is my roots)!! I made it the other day and it was super delicious! Bye bye sofrito, hello aliños!! The only thing I did different is I did not add the water but instead drizzled some olive oil while it was blending. Thanks for the recipe!
