Resting Time10 mins
Total Time50 mins
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Cuban, Latin, Spanish
Keyword: Seafood, Sofrito, Stovetop
Servings: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Old Havana Foods Sofrito Authentic Cuban Cooking Sauce
  • 1½ cups Broth, seafood, vegetable or chicken
  • 3 tablespoons Lime juice, fresh preferred, from 1 large or 2 small limes
  • 6 ounces Dry, light white wine, sauvignon blanc, rose and pinot grigio are good options
  • 8 ounces Sweet peas (petit pois) if using canned drain and reserve peas and liquid separately
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper, more to taste
  • 1 pinch Saffron, crumbled optional
  • 1½ cups Long grain white rice jasmine or basmati preferred
  • 1 ½ pounds Raw seafood, such as shrimp, scallops, clams, musssels, lobster, octopus, squid and firm white fish pieces no larger than 1 to 1½ inches thick
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a 4 to 6 quart stockpot over medium heat, combine Old Havana Foods Sofrito, broth, lime juice, wine, liquid from peas, black pepper, saffron (if using) and rice to stockpot.
  • Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to lowest setting; cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
  • If using fresh or frozen peas add all of them at the 10 minute mark stirring well to spread throughout, then add seafood pieces, tucking them into the partially cooked rice mixture to nearly cover. Cook an additional 8 to 10 minutes until seafood and rice are cooked through. Remove from heat.

Notes

Try a mixture of any quick cooking fish or seafood. If using fully cooked seafood, add during the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking the rice to avoid getting overcooked, dry or chewy seafood.

Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time15 mins
Total Time20 mins
Course: Filling, Main Course
Cuisine: Cuban, Latin, Spanish
Keyword: Beef, Chicken, Filling, Sandwich, Turkey
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground meat (beef, pork, lamb or turkey) (or tofu!)
  • 16 ounces Old Havana Foods Sofrito
  • 1/4 cup Pimento stuffed or pitted green olives, chopped (optional but very traditional)
  • 1/4 cup Golden raisins, coarsely chopped (optional but very traditional)
  • 2 tablespoons Dry sherry (optional but very traditional)

Instructions

  • Preheat non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meat until no longer pink, breaking up pieces with spoon.
  • Add Old Havana Foods Sofrito, stir well to combine.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 5 to 7 minutes, until bubbly, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve on buns for sloppy joes, in tortillas for tacos, with chips as a hearty dip, over cooked pasta, as an empanada filling, in a lasagna … the possibilities are endless!

Notes

The traditional recipe includes the chopped green olives (for a briny flavor), raisins (for a little natural sweetness) and sherry (for depth of flavor.) It still tastes great without those additions.
For a truly traditional Cuban meal serve over white rice topped with a fried egg and pan fried sweet plantains (maduros.)
