A Little Something From My Island!!!!


I’m originally from the Dominican Republic and as a little girl I remember helping my mom in the kitchen. Everything was so difficult (maybe that’s why I didn’t like to cook) the kitchen utensils were the hardest ones and having to go to the butcher to get the meats was not a good thing for me. I remember making the sazón (seasoning) in little quantities, we gathered all the ingredients, put them in a wooden mortar and with the pestle mash all the ingredients, man that was hard!!!! But to be honest my mom’s food was always delicious then and now even more.
Times have changed and things are now easier to prepare, that is why I’m giving you the recipe of the Seasoning that my mami uses in all her recipes. I use it too, but I don’t make it myself (mom’s cooking is always the best!!!). I make sure to ask her that whenever she is making hers to put some in a small jar and save it for me.
I’m attaching a picture of the jar I have in my refrigerator and how the seasoning looks. Ohh!! And yeah it can last months in the refrigerator. 




Sazón Dominicano – Dominican Seasoning

2 large onions
2 large peppers (peppers can be the type you want)

10 cloves garlic
2 cubes of chicken bouillon

Some Cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
