Sofrito

 

 

This is great to add to anything you cook. From soups, meats, rice, beans.. ANYTHING! Its looks a bit weird but it smells heavenly. I usually triple the amount of ingredients.

 

1 large yellow onion

1 green bell pepper

1 red bell pepper or 1sm jar roasted red peppers

1 medium head of garlic (2 tbsp. minced garlic)

1 bunch of cilantro

12 ajíes dulces (hard to find and may skip)

6 leaves of recao - (Eryngium) (hard to find/skip)

½ cup olive oil

 

Wash, peel, seed and coarsley chop everything. Put in a blender and pureé. Store in a glass jar covered in the refrigerator for later use. Freeze it in ice-cube trays and dump the frozen cubes in a freezer bag. This recipe makes about 2 large ice-cube trays. Use about 3 cubes for rice or soup that will serve a family.
