Hogao (Colombian Creole Sauce) is a simple and savory and versatile compliment to so many foods. A variant of the beloved sofrito, with the addition of some delicious scallions, it is one of the most traditional seasoning sauces in Colombia. We use it as a base for many typical dishes, and also as a dipping sauce for tostones, arepas and yuca fries. We suggest making a batch, saving it in the fridge, and whenever breakfast, lunch or dinner calls for a hit of fresh flavor, give it a spoonful. Enjoy our recipe below!
