SIMPLE SOFRITO Recipe | Sofrito For When You Can’t Find Ají Dulce or Culantro

In this video, I’ll show you how to make and properly store an alternative Puerto Rican sofrito for those who don’t have access to our traditional culantro/recao or ají dulce (or both).

Now, while ají dulce is harder to come by unless you live in or near an area with a high concetration of Puerto Ricans/Caribbeans, culantro/recao can still be found in Asian grocery stores as, ‘spiny coriander’ or ‘long-leaf coriander’! However, substituting it for extra cilantro works just fine! ☺️

This will give you a really good sofrito so that you can still make those special dishes we all love, no matter where you live in the world. ❤️


Ingredients:
• 3 large onions (any kind)
• 2 -3 bundles cilantro (1 of these will replace a bundle of culantro - spiny coriander)
• 3 Multi-Colored Peppers (or 1lb mini sweet peppers)
• 1 Green Bell Pepper (can also use cubanelle peppers)
• 4 - 6 Garlic bulbs, peeled (substitute for 1 cup pre-peeled garlic. NO store-bought minced garlic or garlic paste! Must be fresh!)

Thank you for watching my very first video! New recipes will be uploaded every week!
