Please stop sticking the spatula in the blender while it's running!!

@zenvoodoodoc yes I know.. :D I have stopped, thanks for your concern

How long will this last- how long can I keep it in the fridge or freezer? (do you suggest freezing it?)

Thanks!

[JessicaConSazon]

@victormimartin I always make a ton and freeze it. it lasts forever! I usually go through mine pretty quick so i don't really know how long it will stay good frozen but I would say if your not going through it all within 6 months make less :D in the fridge it last for about a month. But the fresher the better! Enjoy and thanks for watching!

What happened to the olive oil?

[JessicaConSazon]

@LaMuradoEstrellas I don't use that. if you do, great. We all have our own style. Thanks for watching.

[JessicaConSazon]

Thanks all for watching and all your comments. I would like everyone to know that I have used a food processor before.. I never liked the consistency. I always go back to the blender. Everyone will start to create their own style, this is just a baseline. So if a food processor works for you, or adding more things or removing some things by all means! GET NUTTY! This is simply my method and has worked for me a long time! ENJOY COOKING!

To much garlic!!

[ericacastrox5]

i have a question about the recao..if we only have recaito how much of that is equal to the one bunch of recao??

LOLO You are the 1st person I have ever come across who uses 1 POUND of garlic with only 1 Onion in Sofrito. I enjoy cooking, and have taught not only family members but friends who love our PR dishes. Check out real Chefs, & PR recipe books and you will see, that though they are may variations, NO one use so much garlic!!!! Its suppose to be a balance. By the way, that's why your blender breaksdown. Olive Oil is better than water and I would never use a spoon while the blender is on!

Thank you for the recipe, looks yummy! I would have liked it more if the person holding the camera was a bit more steady and not doing weird side angle shots. (It made me dizzy.)

Re : hate peeling garlic savor magazine 10 second shake it method : smash the garlic bulbs to break them apart, put all pieces in a bowl - place another bowl tops together on top - hold and shake hard... it works
