SOFRITO AND FISH
Sofrito is the foundation of Puerto Rican cuisine and the base for many of the island's most popular dishes. Making this all-purpose blend of peppers, herbs and aromatics is something most people learn from their abuela (grandma). The word sofrito in Spanish means to saute something, a reference to how the seasoning is used rather than how it is made. Here it serves as an easy sauce for seared snapper fillets.

Steps:
- Combine the green bell pepper, onion, aji dulce, garlic, 1/2 cup of the cilantro and the recao in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season both sides of the snapper with salt and pepper. Add the snapper to the pan and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the snapper to a platter.
- Lower the heat to medium, add the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and finish with the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Pour the sofrito over the snapper and enjoy.
