Ingredients depend on how much you want to make (this freezes well and can be used throughout the year)
2 or 3 bunches cilantro
2 or 3 medium red bell peppers
2 or 3 green bell peppers
1 large onion (which ever you like the
best, to your taste)
Garlic cloves (you can add as many cloves
as you desire, if you like a lot of garlic, more,
if not 2 or 3 cloves should do)
Wash the vegetables clean
Begin adding portions of EACH ingredient to a food processor or blender
(If you try to do it all at once it may be too hard on your machine
) Chop into a fine consistency
There should be no lumps, it should have the consistency of baby food
Continue adding vegetables until all of the ingredients have been added to the mixture
This is very simple to make and it is great in the preparation of any ethnic dish, it has a potent but delicious flavor and only takes a couple of tablespoons to do the job
I posted a recipe awhile back that called for sofrito and now you can make your own!!
You can try it and critique it to your personal taste
Good luck!!
