Notes: Once you've made this easy recipe you will never go back to store bough sofrito. The aroma is simply intoxicating. . . .
Cubanelle peppers are the typical pepper used in the island - it is a sweet Italian pepper and not easily found everywhere. The word sofrito comes from Italian immigrants to Puerto Rico - it means the same thing except their sofrito uses a few different ingredients and they don't use it as often as we do.
