Sofrito

Recipe #267165 | 10 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Provl8dy in training

This is a twist on the famous Puerto Rican base. I am all about making it easy and fresh and not wasting anything plus I don't have a store nearby that I can get authentic Spanish seasoning so I had to come up with something as close as possible.
