Ingredients
Wash and dry the cilantro
Wash and dry the culantro.
To my left is the culantro(aka recao) to my right is the cilantro
Wash, seed and chop the peppers
This is Ajices gustosos(dulces), If you can not find these you can use mini sweet peppers. They usually come in a bag of different colors. Costco carries them.
Clean and remove the seeds
Chop your onions
Dump all the ingredients in a blender or food processor in portions not all at once. Add water if needed to help it along. I forgot to take a pic of the garlic๐ฉ add that in as well. VIP ๐
After it has blended. I freeze mine in ice cube trays. You can also freeze in small containers. I prefer this option.
Ready for the freezer โบ๐
All frozen and ready to be bagged. I can now take what I need.
Freezing sofrito is convenient. It saves me alot of time in the kitchen. I always have some in the freezer at a moments notice when I have to cook. I hope you will try it
