Great Seasonings For Some Great Foods

For me the biggest thing, is being able to make and try out new recipes on my family. They love to help and watch what I make.  Were a big user of all types of Goya products, we love the spices and other thing they have  And being married to Spanish guys helps with the right ones.  Both our husbands love their Spanish foods.

Masitas de Cerdo – Sautéed Cuban Pork

Tangy, Garlicky Sautéed Pork, Cuban Style!
Sautéed Cuban Pork, or Masitas de Cerdo, is one of the most popular pork recipes in Cuba. The secret to this super flavorful dish is a tangy, garlicky marinade starring GOYA® Mojo Criollo. The pork soaks up our incredible blend of sour orange, lemon, garlic, and spices. Then it is cubed, and sautéed until crusty all over. Enjoy Masitas de Cerdo as it is traditionally served in Cuba: with sweet, sautéed onions, rice and black beans, and delicious GOYA® Ripe Plantains(maduros)

Savory pork and onion, crunchy and golden brown from the skillet, is a marriage made in heaven!

2 tsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups cooked GOYA® Medium Grain Rice

Cut pork into 1” cubes.
3. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with adobo. Cook pork, in batches, until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 10 min; transfer to paper-towel lined plate to drain. Cook onions in oil until soft and starting to brown, about 5 minutes.

Goya Sazon Total – A new way to give your meals an extra flavor. Its combination of spices enhances the natural flavor of your foods

Guava-Glazed Shrimp Kebabs

Ingredients

Directions

1. In small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring guava paste, ½ cup water, Adobo, hot pepper flakes and Sazonador Total to boil. Boil, stirring occasionally until paste becomes thick glaze, about 8 minutes. Transfer glaze to bowl to cool. (Note: Guava glaze can be made up to 1 week in advance; keep covered in refrigerator).
2. In medium bowl, mix together shrimp and garlic; season with Adobo. Thread shrimp onto 4 skewers. Thread mango slices onto 4 skewers. (Note: Pre-soak wooden skewers in water 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.)
3. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Brush one side of skewers with reserved guava glaze. Place skewers (glazed side-down) on greased grill grates. Brush top side of skewers with glaze. Cook, brushing with glaze and turning occasionally, until shrimp are pink and opaque, and mango is charred and tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer skewers to platter; sprinkle with cilantro.
