In this video, I’ll show you how to make and properly store an alternative Puerto Rican sofrito for those who don’t have access to our traditional culantro/recao or ají dulce (or both).
Now, while ají dulce is harder to come by unless you live in or near an area with a high concetration of Puerto Ricans/Caribbeans, culantro/recao can still be found in Asian grocery stores as, ‘spiny coriander’ or ‘long-leaf coriander’! However, substituting it for extra cilantro works just fine! ☺️
This will give you a really good sofrito so that you can still make those special dishes we all love, no matter where you live in the world. ❤️
Ingredients:
• 3 large onions (any kind)
• 2 -3 bundles cilantro (1 of these will replace a bundle of culantro - spiny coriander)
• 3 Multi-Colored Peppers (or 1lb mini sweet peppers)
• 1 Green Bell Pepper (can also use cubanelle peppers)
• 4 - 6 Garlic bulbs, peeled (substitute for 1 cup pre-peeled garlic. NO store-bought minced garlic or garlic paste! Must be fresh!)
Thank you for watching my very first video! New recipes will be uploaded every week!
