Contributor: Alexandra
Ayala
Country: Puerto Rico
Ingredients:
4 large yellow onions
4
heads of garlic
4 large green peppers
2 large red peppers
8
recao leaves
6 small sweet peppers
2 bunches of cilantro leaves
1 cup water (on standby)
Directions:
Place all ingredients
in a food processor and chop coarsely. Add in the water, a small amount
at a time. Pour this mixture into small tight fitting lids. Keep the
sofrito in the fridge; it also freezes well. Add this mixture (to taste)
to beans, dishes, stews, soups, and anything else you want to spice up.
Personal Passage:
Sofrito is the heart of Puerto Rican cuisine. Sofrito is the basis
for most of our Puerto Rican dishes. Such as, the base in "Sopa de
Pollo" (Chicken Soup). Try this recipe out and enjoy the wonderful
flavor it gives to
dishes.
