MY SOFRITO RECIPE

Sofrito  

Sofrito is the base and essence of Puerto Rican food.  It is not just an ingredient it is our culture.  Puerto Rican food is not authentic Puerto Rican food without the use of Sofrito.  Its the first thing to go into the pot and establishes the flavor and seasonings of what's to come.  The recipe is different in every Puerto Rican household and it is normally handed down from mother to child from generation to generation. 

The herb culantro and Aji Dulce’s are what gives Sofrito its unique flavor.   

My Sofrito Recipe:

4  Cubanelle Peppers

1 large  red bell pepper

1 lb of Aji Dulce

50 leaves of Recao-Culantro

A bunch of Cilantro

2 heads of garlic

2 spanish onions

1 teaspoon of olive oil

Prepare

Wash all the ingredients and remove the seeds.  Put all the ingredients in a

blender and put blender on coarse until all ingredients have been blended.    

You can store them in ice-cube trays  so that you can freeze and use as needed.
