Culantro (Recao)
$2.50 / 1/4 libra
Category: Herbs
Recao, also known as culantro or 'culantro de monte,' has aromatic leaves with an intense, herbal flavor, bolder than cilantro but sharing that same fresh note so common in Puerto Rican cooking. It's a key ingredient for sofrito, recaito, piques, and homemade marinades, giving beans, meats, and stews that deep background flavor. Chop the leaves finely before adding them to release their full aroma. Store them wrapped in a damp paper towel inside a bag in the fridge to keep them fresh for several days. Comes in a one quarter pound pack.
