"This is the one indispensable, universal, un-live-withoutable recipe. Having said that, it is incredibly easy to make with ingredients you can find at the supermarket. And if you can't find all the ingredients I list below see the note that follows for a very simple fix. What sofrito does is add freshness, herbal notes and zing to dishes-you can do that with the onion, garlic, bell pepper, cilantro and tomato alone. In my house, sofrito makes its way into everything from yellow rice, black bean soup, sauce for spaghetti and meatballs to braised chicken and sautéed shrimp. Not only that, it freezes beautifully, so in about In 10 minutes you can make enough sofrito to flavor a dozen dishes. I'm telling you, this stuff does everything but make the beds. You will change the way you cook. I guarantee it." ----Daisy Martinez

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try a different one next time.

I was really disappointed with this recipe. The sofrito was bland and didn't add any flavor to my dish.

I'm not a huge fan of sofrito, but this recipe is pretty good. It's not too overpowering and it adds a nice flavor to dishes.

This sofrito is delicious! I used it to make a Cuban pork roast and it was the best pork roast I've ever had.

This recipe is a great starting point for making your own sofrito. I like to add a few extra ingredients, like cumin and oregano, to give it a more complex flavor.

I was skeptical at first, but this sofrito is the real deal. It's so good, I could eat it straight out of the jar.

This sofrito is a must-try for anyone who loves Latin cuisine. It's so versatile and can be used in so many different dishes. I especially love it in rice and beans.

I've been making sofrito for years, but this recipe is by far the best. The flavors are so rich and complex, and it's the perfect addition to any Latin dish.

This sofrito recipe is a lifesaver! I'm not the best cook, but this recipe was so easy to follow and the results were amazing. My family loved it and I'll definitely be making it again.
