    My best friend makes sofrito all the time! I love it!!!!! Its hard to find all the stuff to make it here in Vegas tho. We sometimes have to go to a few stores and we can never find the ajice peppers so we use green bell peppers.

    I buy it pre-made by Goya. They have sofrito, that has tomato and achiote for the red color, and recaito that is green because of the recao.

    Oh I love this thread! I use sofrito often. The smell is heavenly! I make my own and like some other posters said you can freeze it in an ice cube tray and it last longer. Yum-O

    1 large yellow onion
    1 red bell pepper
    1 medium head of garlic
    12 ajíes dulces - Use green pepper if you can't find these
    6 leaves of recao - Use cilantro if you can't find recao
    ¼ cup Spanish olives, pitted
    1 tbsp crushed orégano
    ½ cup olive oil

    Enjoy everyone!!!!

    The Goya sofrito sauce I bought yesterday completely on the strength of this thread smells and tastes amazing, but also smells and tastes like it's been cooked, not just processed and bottled. Do you cook your sofrito?

    so far i dipped pretzels in it, spread some on my morning omelet, and ate it by the spoon right out of the bottle.

    Thanks for the great suggestion.

    Yes the goya one you buy is very processed. full of fillers and such..
    make your own fresh its 100 times better than the one you bought..
