Sofrito

Peel the onion and deseed bell pepper, then quarter them. Rinse the cilantro and chop the bunch roughly.

Add the onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until a smooth, thick puree forms.

Use the sofrito in a recipe immediately, store in an air-tight container for up to a month in the fridge, or portion into ice cube trays and store in the freezer for up to three months.
