Sofrito

Ingredients depend on how much you want to make (this freezes well and can be used throughout the year).
2 or 3 bunches cilantro
2 or 3 medium red bell peppers
2 or 3 green bell peppers
1 large onion (which ever you like the
best, to your taste)
Garlic cloves (you can add as many cloves
as you desire, if you like a lot of garlic, more,
if not 2 or 3 cloves should do)
Wash the vegetables clean. Begin adding portions of EACH ingredient to a food processor or blender. (If you try to do it all at once it may be too hard on your machine.) Chop into a fine consistency. There should be no lumps, it should have the consistency of baby food.
Continue adding vegetables until all of the ingredients have been added to the mixture.
This is very simple to make and it is great in the preparation of any ethnic dish, it has a potent but delicious flavor and only takes a couple of tablespoons to do the job. I posted a recipe awhile back that called for sofrito and now you can make your own!!
You can try it and critique it to your personal taste. Good luck!!

Sofrito is not only a common seasoning in many Puerto Rican dishes, but it is also frequently served at the table as a condiment. It will keep refrigerated for several days, and can be frozen in small batches for future use.
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ounces lean cured ham, finely chopped
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly-ground pepper, to taste
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the remaining ingredients and saute for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Makes about 1 cup to serve 6 to 8 as a condiment.
