Recaito is a Puerto Rican cooking base commonly made from culantro, cilantro, peppers, onion and garlic. It seasons rice, beans, stews and other savory dishes, usually by being cooked in the dish's fat before other ingredients are added.
Recipes and names overlap with sofrito, but recaito is typically green and often lacks tomato. Culantro and cilantro are different herbs; the similar names do not make them identical ingredients.
