How to get values from this JSON using Alamofire swift 3 - ios

Question

I'm trying to get values from this JSON. This is part of the JSON because the real JSON data is too long.

For example, I want to get label values that is inside "recipe". I successfully print in console all the JSON, but I don't know how to get recipe values.
I hope you can help me.
This is the code I have now.
let url: String = "https://test-es.edamam.com/search?q=pollo"
var arregloHits: NSMutableArray = []
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
pruebaJson()
}
func pruebaJson(){
if ControladorService.conexionInternet(){
ControladorService.sharedInstance.callUrlWithCompletion(url: url, params: nil, completion: { (finished, response) in
if finished{
let result = NSMutableArray(array: response["hits"] as! NSArray)
self.arregloHits = result
print(self.arregloHits)
}else{
print("Connection failed")
}
}, method: .get)
}else{
print("No Internet")
}
}

Your top level json structure is a dictionary. So you need to parse it into [String: Any]. Then your hints level is a JSON array, so you need to parse it into [Any]
Here is an example. Don't forget to handle unwrap
do{
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: yourJSONData, options: []) as? [String: Any]
let hits = json?["hits"] as? [Any]
dump(hits)
}catch let error{
}
