How To Make Sofrito

A step-by-step guide to making sofrito! I get a lot of questions about the frozen green cubes in my vids and how I make them and this is it 😌

Also I forgot to add onion to this batch but per the recipe below add 1 onion!

INGREDIENTS:
1 bunch culantro
1 bunch cilantro
1 white onion
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 cubanelle pepper (or 1 Anaheim pepper)
2 aji dulce peppers (or sweet red peppers)
½ cup olive oil
3 heads of garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp oregano

The way I felt happy seeing culantro 😊 we eat it a lot here. I'm from Manipur, a north eastern state of India

In Haiti we call this Epice and it make everything better

I love being a Caribbean woman! We (Haitians) call ours Epis! We make it with garlic, green onions (or leeks), bell peppers, scotch bonnet pepper (if you want it spicy), onions, thyme, parsley, Maggi cube (or salt), and olive oil. Then you can put cloves in it after you blend it. We put Epis in every single thing!

Interesting culantro, we call it shadow beni in Trinidad😊

Really happy about this. Puertorricans call culantro 'recao' and we mostly remove all peppers seeds, omit olive oil and smash using 'pilón' and 'maceta'.

Yasss! In Vietnamese be cooking we use culantro in zesty salads with thin sliced beef or seafood! It’s so refreshing and spicy, we love it in noodle soups as well!

This is so interesting to see, I don’t know much about Caribbean cooking but sofrito is peppers, onion, garlic, and tomato with different spices in Spanish cooking. It’s pretty cool to see how different cultures borrow influences from one another.

I'm south indian and I LOVE culantro but I had no idea the rest of the world knew about it! It so amazing to see how underrepresented peoples have been exchanging ingredients for CENTURIES

Culantro is the secret for the best chicken soup ever. It just gives it that kick

Culantro is known in Puerto Rico as “Recao” and is great for sofrito and guisos too.
