Sofrito is the base for most Puerto Rican dishes, and this one is better than store-bought (it's difficult to find in the stores in the western United States). Sofrito can be added to beans, rice, soups, and stews; you name it.

Recipe Tips

Ají dulce is a common ingredient in Puerto Rican recipes. It's a small sweet red pepper. If you can't find it, use red bell pepper.

Recao is a popular Caribbean herb with many aliases: culantro, long coriander, ngo-gai, and Mexican coriander. It can be found in Latin grocery stores. You can substitute cilantro.
