  • 2 pounds plum tomatoes
  • 2 red bell peppers

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced, 25 to 30 minutes (reduce heat if browning at edge).

                Yes, this is a very general recipe that leaves the door open for you do doctor it up as you see fit.  This is more like a "base" sofrito.  I use tri-color peppers for the asthetics. I do like to add fresh cilantro at the end.  Adding dry time works great too; I leave the rosemary (as read in other recipes) out.  Try adding half of a seeded jalapeno with the veggies then a splash of white wine after the veggies saute.  Add a pad of butter to finish.

                There is no cilantro in Spanish sofrito and twice the garlic.  1 green mild pepper, not 2 red and a little smoked Spanish sweet paprika.  It is  different from other sofritos.   The flavors are better the next day.

                I was really surprised at how "bleh" this sofrito came out.  I was so excited and prepared to love it, but despite everything that went into it, it was borrrring!  I think I am going to give it a second chance and up the cilantro and garlic amounts.  Salt too.  Seriously, with all of these ingredients, I can't believe how bland and boring it was.
