Alex's Sofrito

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Alex's Sofrito). Living in the States, it has been hard for me to find the original ingredients for traditional sofrito from Puerto Rico, so this is the base I came up with and have been using for years in all of my Latin bean, stew, soup or rice recipes. I always keep a small bowl of it in the fridge and freeze the rest. Enjoy!
