This recipe was forwarded by Doris W. from Chicago, IL. Her family hails from the city of Holguin, Cuba. One of her fondest memories is watching her grandmother make this fabulous sauce on most Sundays. This is a perfect accompaniment to fish and seafood and can double as a cold-salad dressing. Doris said her grandmother always added 1/2 cup of finely chopped fresh tomatoes from the ever present family garden.
