Fellow Sofrito User, adding that base during the Frying of the onions will elevate to the next level. Looks great

That little bit of white vinegar is how Dominicans make their beans ❤

Vinegar in the beans is the secret to bring it all together

Sofrito is not just a Puerto Rican thing. It's a Caribbean thing.
Cubans, Dominicans, even Italians use their own kinds of Sofrito ❤️
Recaito is the "green" Sofrito. With cilantro as the based. If the Sofrito is red it's because of the tomato sauce 🍅
You can buy it off the shelf in a jar or in the freezer section in a container (Congelado). You can also buy it FRESH from an international or Caribbean food Mart. But the best way to make it (in my opinion) ALWAYS fresh. Everyone has their own recipes to make it so there's no "right way." You just have to play with it until you get the right recipe for YOU!
My personal recipe is:
3 GREEN Bell Peppers
1 RED bell pepper
2 onions
1 BIG tomato (or 2 SMALL ones)
1 whole clove of garlic 🧄 (I use elephant garlic -personal preference)
Whole stock of Cilantro (sometimes half of another stock because I love the recaito taste).
*Recaito is a puree of Cilantro, Onions & Garlic 😋
Puree everything together. Don't chop the pieces too small otherwise you'll lose some of the juices. Add just a little bit of everything as you go, so you get a good blend of flavors.
I'm Puerto Rican, and we grow up helping our parents make Sofrito from a young age. Hispanics don't use exact measurements. We keep adding until our ancestors whisper, "Cono! Eso es suficiente!" 😂😂😂

Remember - rice and beans is a complete protein and if you sub olive oil for the butter - it's vegan. And very low cost.

That is delicious any time.Teach your kids to cook simple stuff from the pantry and fridge.It simplifies life.

My mom taught us how to make food when she was away as soon as we turned 12. 12 was adolescents for our household and that’s when we learned how to cook and do most if not all chores.

I fully understand that the world is not the way it used to be and people would prefer their children to have no responsibilities or boundaries but you do you. If you like it, I love it!
