Instructions
Step 1: is THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP. Its been lost through the newer generations of misinformed people. Ever wonder why Mexican Salsa tastes so good? Its because they roast the vegetables. ROAST THE VEGETABLES PEOPLE! Peel the onion and cut into 4 parts, cut top off red bell pepper and discard seeds, cut tops off aji peppers.
Ingredients:
- red pepper
- vegetable
- peppers
- onion
- salsa
- seeds
Step 2: Chop vegetables and put all the ingredients in a food processor.
Ingredients:
- vegetable
Equipment:
- food processor
Step 3: Process for about 1 min or until all the vegetables are at a consistency like picture below.
Ingredients:
- vegetable
Step 4: Storing your Sofrito Some people like storing their sofrito in ice cube trays, my grandmother too. Just please, for the sake of sanitary and possible food contamination with God knows what. Use an ice cube try with a lid or top. I found this one at Bed Bath Beyond and I think it cost just a couple of bucks. You dont want your sofrito developing freezer burns, thats just yukkkkkkkie!
Ingredients:
- ice cubes
- sake
Step 5: This is what I do. After the sofrito is frozen I take it out of the trays and store it in a freezer safe zip lock bag. After all, its about keeping everything fresh right?
