Good recipe, the best thing is that you can adapt it in any way basically- I added more cilantro and yellow bell peppers one batch, then the other had more garlic and tomato I beleive. This recipe is essential for any Latin dish/ dip, etc. if you want to produce a mouthwatering result!

Ahh the smell of making sofrito always takes me back when I was a little girl helping my mom cook. When I make sofrito, I think about making something that is all natural. I don't add salt or pepper to my sofrito. I add seasonings when I am preparing the meal. Also, I place my just made sofrito into ice cube trays. This way I can have pre-measured easy access everytime. Buy ice cube trays especially for sofrito. You don't want to use your everyday trays less you want your beverages tasting like cilantro. I fill the ice cube trays with the sofrito, wrap the trays tightly (you don't want your ice cream tasting like sofrito), freeze, pop out the frozen sofrito cubes and place then in a zip lock freezer bag.

This sofrito is so good! We use this in our Puero Rican beans and it tastes awesome. The flavor is great and really authentic. My husband worked in PR for a while and loves the food. We made the full batch and freezed it in ice cube trays as per the recommendation.

I don't know why I didn't do this sooner, what a way to save veggies and herbs from going bad in the frig! I could not find the ajies dulces peppers or culantro, so I just used what I had on hand, threw in some fresh basil and a about a tsp of Adobo seasoning. I used this in Arroz con Gandules and froze the rest in freezer bags so I have them on hand when I don't have the time to chop up all those fresh veggies! This will be a staple in my recipe box now!

I loved how this came out, so much better than store bought. I think I will eliminate some of the tomatoe next time as it was a bit watery.

I Love Love LOVE Sofrito in my food. My husband is not Puerto Rican and gets a little overwhelmed especially since I use a little more garlic in mine. I also season in with Adobo not salt and pepper. I love the taste of adobo and since I season most of my food with it anyway I just add it to my sofrito. I love it in black beans ESPECIALLY! I don't use the culantro or red pepper. I just use onion, green pepper, garlic, cilantro and sometimes in a blue moon, I spice it up with a jalapeno or serano. Great classic recipe...makes the house smell...happy.

I made this last night and I haven't felt so "Puerto Rican" in a long time...lol! I did omit the tomato's...i remember my mom never put tomato in it and didn't find the aji dulce so I used the italian peppers. It smelled so good in the house. I loved it. I froze some in an ice cube tray and put the rest in containers. THANK YOU!!!

Delicious! The kitchen smelled wonderful while I was preparing this. I opened up a jar of store-bought sofrito just to compare the aroma~ the homemade stuff smelled incredible next to the jar. I used this in Fivebrigs recipe for habichuelas and puerto rican rice. Excellent!***a quick update. I just used some of the sofrito that I froze, and i do not find the flavor nearly as robust as the fresh!

I loved this recipe. I am a NYer who grew up on spanish foods. So when I came across this recipe I tried it. My rice and beans thank you. Arroz con pollo me gusta even more LOL! I only gave it 4 stars because I added more garlic and used goya sazon con annatto(4packs).

Very very simple to make. Took just minutes to finish this one. Strong cilantro flavor. I didn't have recao or ajies dulces, and used red tomatoes. This is really good stuff. Used it to make Habichuelas Guisadas and Carne Guisada III. Also wonderful with tortilla chips and as a condiment for a bowl of chili con carne (that's what my teenager did). Mine didn't turn out with that beautiful green color in the picture by latina cook, but the flavor was out of this world! A keeper.... Highly recommended!
