Sofrito is the flavor foundation for many Latin American dishes, with ingredients and techniques varying between countries, regions, and households. Nikki Levick, our VP of Finance and Operations, shares this recipe for her grandfather’s sofrito, which has roots in both Cuba and Puerto Rico. Here our Cuco’s Adobo adds all the herbs and spices needed.
Use sofrito for marinades, sauces, dips, or in any dish requiring a deeply savory base.
Put the oil into a heavy bottomed sauce pan set over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the onions and peppers. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the vegetables for about five minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the Cuco’s Adobo and add the tomato puree. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until slightly thickened, 5-10 minutes more.
Use as is or blend before storing, tightly covered, for up to a week in the fridge or a month in the freezer.
