Sofrito(Dominican Republic) image

In the Dominican Republic, sofrito can be made any number of ways. Here is a version using tomatillos that is so good. Make a batch once or twice a week and you'll have a great, healthy seasoning base that will amp up any dish. Adapted from Global Table Adventure.

Time 25m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 green pepper, cut in large chunks
1 red pepper, cut in large chunks
1 red onion, cut in large chunks
3 green onions, sliced
2 tomatillos, quartered
2 roma tomatoes, quartered
1/2 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
1/2 bunch parsley, roughly chopped
6 garlic cloves, quartered
salt and pepper (optional)

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.
