Ingredients

  • 2 yellow onion peeled and chopped, white works too
  • 15 cloves garlic
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • ½ lb aji dulce peppers stems removed
  • 2 bunches culantro
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 4 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

  • Add everything to a food processor or blender and blend until a smooth consistency.
  • Sofrito will last for up to a week in the fridge and about 3 months in the freezer. I like to put a small amount in an airtight container to use for the week. The remaining sofrito, I will freeze in an ice tray. This way you will have perfect portions to use anytime you need some for a recipe.

Notes

This recipe makes about 5 cups of sofrito.
