Adobo seasoning combines pungent and aromatic spices and herbs to create an essential Caribbean and Latin American blend. From the Spanish word meaning "to marinate", adobo can be used as a marinade or dry rub. It also works well over grilled corn or squash and is a great seasoning for grilled meat. To make a marinade, combine the seasoning with a liquid mixture that contains water, vinegar, juice, and/or oil.
