Homemade Sofrito

Homemade Sofrito is easy to make and adds so much flavor to your dishes. Use as a base for other recipes, add to a soup/stew as we do with our Authentic Black Beans, or use alone. When my family makes this, we always try to make a little extra to snack on as an appetizer spread over homemade crostini – yum!

  • Cook until tomatoes start to break down (about 5 minutes). The tomatoes will release liquid and as you cook it, it will begin to dry out. Add 1/2 cup chicken stock and continue to cook for 5 minutes stirring frequently. Once you see the stock has evaporated and is dried out, add the remaining stock, reduce the heat to low and continuing cooking for 5 minutes. Add vinegar and sugar and stir. Simmer for 5 more minutes. Taste and correct seasoning as needed.
