A hand holds a glass jar of homemade Dominican sofrito, a chunky green puree. Text overlays label the ingredients, including red and green bell peppers, red onion, garlic, cubanelle pepper, cilantro, coriandrum leaves, and olive oil, against a kitchen background.
My Dominican Sofrito✨
Tip: lightly blend these ingredients into a chunky puree, do not over blend. You can use this for everything it just gives it a fresh taste, and then you season it how you like it. You can use this on soups, stews, beans, meats, yellow rice, and on whatever you like. 🤍 #sofrito #dominican
