SOFRITO AND FISH

Sofrito is the foundation of Puerto Rican cuisine and the base for many of the island's most popular dishes. Making this all-purpose blend of peppers, herbs and aromatics is something most people learn from their abuela (grandma). The word sofrito in Spanish means to saute something, a reference to how the seasoning is used rather than how it is made. Here it serves as an easy sauce for seared snapper fillets.

Steps:

  • Combine the green bell pepper, onion, aji dulce, garlic, 1/2 cup of the cilantro and the recao in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season both sides of the snapper with salt and pepper. Add the snapper to the pan and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the snapper to a platter.
  • Lower the heat to medium, add the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and finish with the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Pour the sofrito over the snapper and enjoy.

1 large green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely diced
1 large Spanish onion, finely diced
5 aji dulce or 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
5 leaves recao (culantro), chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound snapper fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large deep pot, fitted with a deep frying thermometer, preheat 5 inches oil to 325 degrees F.

  • Season the fish and dust with the flour. Place in the egg wash. Place back in the flour. Shake off excess.
  • Fry the fish at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
