Sofrito Sauce

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Can be frozen in ice cube trays for easy portioning.

Make a large batch of sofrito and freeze portions for quick weeknight meals.

Adjust the types of peppers and herbs to suit your desired flavor profile.

For a deeper flavor, let the sofrito cook down slowly until the vegetables are very soft and slightly caramelized.

Rice dishes (e.g., Arroz con Pollo)

Soups and stews (e.g., lentil soup, bean soup)

Braised meats and poultry

Sauces for pasta or seafood

Burning the garlic: Add garlic towards the end of sautéing the onions to prevent it from burning and becoming bitter.

Not cooking long enough: Ensure the vegetables are softened and slightly translucent for the best flavor development.
