Sofrito

Directions

1. 1
   AMOUNT OF INGREDIENTS DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO MAKE.
2. 2
   Rinse vegetables thoroughly and cut in large chunks.
3. 3
   Add everything to blender and blend until smooth.
4. 4
   If you don't have a blender, dice all veggies in small pieces and add everything to a pan on medium heat with a little EVOO and sautee until onions are translucent and veggies are soft.
5. 5
   Make sure not to over cook, remember it will cook even more when you use it later.
6. 6
   If you're using a blender and prefer a thicker consistency like I do, there's no need to add water or olive oil, the vegetables have enough.
7. 7
   But you can add liquid if you prefer a smoother consistency.
8. 8
   Keep a weeks amount in a closed container in the fridge.
9. 9
   Store the rest (up to 2 months or more) in a tighly seeled plastic container in the freezer and use as needed.
10. 10
    Make sure you wash your blender 2-3 times with SOAP and HOT water because nobody wants garlic and onion milkshakes if you know what I mean ;-)
