Simple Sofrito

Sofrito is a cooking base used in many Latino countries. It is used to make rice, season meat, and also to make beans. Below is my simple recipe and it is delicious and will give your next dish a superb taste! Enjoy!

Ingrediants

2 Large Green Bell Peppers

1 Large Red Bell Pepper

1 Onion

2 Italian Peppers (3-4 if the peppers are smaller in size)

5 Ajies Peppers (be sure they are Ajies Dulces! These peppers are almost identical to the scotch bonnet and we do not want that!)

5 Cloves of Crushed Garlic

1 Bunch of Cilatro

1 Bunch of Culantro (Recao)

Salt/Pepper/one packet of Sazon

1 Tablespoon



Remove seeds from peppers and chop along with the onion and cilantro and culantro.  

In a food processor, combine all of the ingrediants(except salt, pepper, and sazon) and mix well in the food processor. I usually mix until the consistency is a little smaller than salsa as I like my sofrito a little more on the chunky side.

Add the packet of sazon, salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!!
