Sofrito
The seasoning combination sofrito is found in many cultures. Add it to your favorite soup or sauce to add extra flavor. It is also great when tossed with steamed shellfish. When using this recipe, I will use 1 tablespoon at a time, keeps in fridge up to 2 weeks. Makes about 1 cup1/4 cup Celery, diced
1/4 cup Onion, diced
1/4 cup Green bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup Tomatoes, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 1/2 Tablespoons Fresh herbs (cilantro or basil work well)
1 1/2 Tablespoons Olive oil
Place all ingredients (except the oil) and pulse until a course sauce forms (similar to salsa). Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute the sauce for 5 minutes.
