Puerto Rican Sofrito

7 servings

Sofrito is the aromatic flavor base of many Caribbean dishes. It's budget-friendly, easy to make, and pure magic in almost any savory recipe.

Ingredients

1 yellow onion ($0.70)

1 green bell pepper ($0.86)

1 bunch fresh cilantro ($0.89)

6 cloves garlic ($0.24)

Instructions

1 Peel the onion and deseed bell pepper, then quarter them. Rinse the cilantro and chop the bunch roughly.

2 Add the onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until a smooth, thick puree forms.

3 Use in a recipe immediately, store in an air-tight container for up to a month in the fridge, or portion into ice cube trays and store in the freezer for up to three months.
