Lizano Salsa
On my travels I always am looking for interesting food items from the country I am visiting.
I heard a lot about Lizano Salsa and after first trying it in Puerto Rico on Johnny Cakes filled with a filet of fried Dorado a member of the Tunis family [Gnathono-don Speciosus]
I realised that this was the added flavour that was missing in my South American recipe dishes. I also met the visiting daughter of the Lizano family when I met her in my Deli in White Rock BC where she was promoting her line of Costa Rican condiments. She was totally taken back and asked where I got it and what did I use it on? I got it from my friends who would holiday in Costa Rico and this all vegetable condiment I would use to flavour rice and bean dishes and a great marinade for fish, chicken and meats. If you are looking to get a powerful South American flavours blast give Lizano a try. Available at some gourmet shops or stores that sell South American foods.
Bet you will be surprised and be hooked on its tropical taste.
Good Stuff!
