Sofritodominican Republic Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Clean vegetables, seed pepper and chop ends of all peppers.
• 2. Chop the vegetables so they are smaller and will fit into a food processor, blender or mini chopper.
• 3. Blend all ingredients, using the liquids as needed to keep the blender running. If everything can't fit into one batch blend in sections and combine later.
• 4. The end result should be a "mush" of colors where nothing is recognizable. Not quite completely liquified, but close.
• 5. Add Adobo seasoning at the end to taste.

Steps:

• Heat up some oil in a medium pot.
• Add sofrito and cook past the point where it releases all its juices.
• To the point where it starts to get toasty. That is the yummy bits that will make your beans incredible.
• Next, add the beans.
• And splash in water or stock(stock preferred).
• Simmer gently until the beans are tender and flavorful. This takes about an hour.
• Season generously!

Steps:

• Roughly cut up all ingredients.
• Toss the wettest ones in a large food processor and give them a couple of quick pulses. This moistness will help process the rest of the ingredients(the tomatoes and tomatillos).
• Next, add the herbs - parsley and cilantro.
• Then, add as many of the other ingredients as you can fit.
• Give the processor several whirs and stirs. Keep adding whatever didn't fit before and pulse until you get a coarse blend. Some sofritos are really chunky, some are like a paste. You decide.
• Season with salt and pepper if you like, but it may be best to season the dish it goes in, in order to have more control.
• Refrigerate and use as needed.
