AuthorNote: Sofrito is a versatile, aromatic puree of tomatoes, peppers,
cilantro, onions, and garlic. It's the foundation of many Latin Caribbean
dishes. There are many variations of this recipe, but this is the recipe I
use most often because the ingredients are easy to find in any grocery
store.

Store sofrito in a glass container in the refrigerator for immediate use
or freeze sofrito in 1/4 to 1/2 cup portions for use at any time.
