Salsa Lizano 625ml

Salsa Lizano is a Costa Rican favourite. Developed in 1920 by the Lizano Company, it is a thin, smooth, light brown sauce (akin to such condiments as HP Sauce).

Ideal to be used while cooking or at tableside to flavour one's food when serving. It is slightly sweet with a hint of spiciness lent by black pepper and cumin.

The ingredients include water, sugar, salt, vegetables (onions, carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers), spices, pepper, mustard, and turmeric. Many Costa Rican dishes are prepared with Salsa Lizano, and it is ubiquitous on restaurant tables in its country of origin.

It is commonly used with gallo pinto and tamales, and is also considered particularly complementary with eggs, rice, beans, fish, cheese, curries, and as a marinade for meat.

Ingredients: Water, Sugar, Salt, Vegetables, (Onions, Carrots, Cauliflower, Cucumbers), Spices, Acetic Acid, Pepper, modified corn starch Starch, Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Tumeric.
