Ingredients
- 2 green bell pepper cut into chunks, medium
- 2 red onion large diced, large, plural
- 2 yellow onion large diced, large
- 3 garlic all cloves peeled, heads
- 2 parsley curly or flat-leaf, bunches
- 2 cilantro bunches
- 2 tbsp sazon recipe in notes, homemade
- 2 tsp salt kosher, 16 g
- 2 tsp black pepper freshly cracked, 16 g
- 2 tbsp olive oil regular, 30 mL, as needed
Instructions
- In a strong blender or food processor, combine all ingredients with a small amount of oil, pulse to start then blend until a smooth, salsa-like consistency.
- Keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for one week. To freeze, divide into an ice cube tray or into freezer-safe sandwich-sized zip-top bags and freeze.
- Use as a base or sauce in Latin dishes or anything you would like to give serious flavor to!

Notes
- If you find aji dulces or cubanelle peppers at your local store, you can use about 5 aji dulces (they are small and sweet, not spicy) and two cubanelle peppers along with the bell peppers.
- Freeze divided, as sofrito doesn't refreeze multiple times well. When you freeze in the ice cube tray, keep it covered. The oil will separate and come to the top, that's normal.
- Mix all ingredients together and keep in a jar for up to 1 year.
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp annatto or turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp MSG (totally optional but it does enhance flavor!)
