Tom’s Soffritto Recipe

Sofrito is typically sautéed in oil as the foundation for sauces, stews, bean and rice dishes. Think of it like a curry paste and use similarly. Heat a generous tablespoon of your sofrito paste in a pan with oil, as the first step in your cooking, then build your recipe from there.

  • Tips and Tricks
    This recipe is adaptable, by cooking for longer or shorter periods of time you can change the flavour. For example, a lighter, more grassy flavour is achieved when sautéing for 2 to 3 minutes and a richer flavour if sautéed for 7 to 10 minutes and combined with tomato sauce.
  • We love leftovers
    This recipe makes more than you'll need for one dish, so keep you leftover sofrito in the freezer stored frozen into cubes and use as needed when making sauces, soups, and stews. If kept in the fridge, it's best if used within a week, but can be frozen for up to six months.
