 today's video I'm just gonna make a quick batch of sofrito and I made this a very very long time ago and a friend of mine gave me a recipe a while ago but I decided to make it again this year because I love sofrito also I think there is another name for this now I am not Hispanic but I love Spanish food so when I used to buy the sofrito in the store it was red and then there was another green one called racaíos something like that I believe if I am butchering the name please tell me so I believe that when you make it fresh people say sofito but however I think it is the racaíos version and I believe you cook the sofito I think that one is hot this one is cold I don't know I'm gonna figure it all out put it all in the description box but that's what I'm gonna make today I actually cleaned everything already because it was just a process this is gonna be a small batch for myself and then I'll show you guys how I store it years ago I came across the lady on I believe it was YouTube before I even had a YouTube channel like years years ago maybe seven eight years ago and she stored it inside of ice trays so I did do that before and it's better that way because you can just take a chunk pop it into wherever you need to cook and be done with it so today I have some have yellow onions I have green pepper which I believe you can use what is the name of the other pepper the Cuban L Cuban L pepper Cuban L pepper I didn't find that so I'm using green peppers my sweet peppers I'm using that because I couldn't find I think it's called chachua peppers I believe I'm gonna link it all I'm butchering these names but I'm just gonna make this because I love it and I also have some cilantro I have some cilantro and I have coolantro and then I have some garlic cloves everything is fresh so I'm just gonna get right into it this is gonna be really really quick I'm not going to be adding any type of liquid in here so if you guys do try to make this use a food processor I think it's a little bit better I think the last time I actually used my chopper but it's so small so I just decided to do this one so I'm just gonna start by adding in my cilantro first that's all cleaned up then I'm gonna add in my coolantro which is this one washed is really good guys then I'm going to be adding in my onions I'm gonna put measurements so again this is a small batch for myself and you can probably tweak it if you need to make a bigger one listen if I can make this anybody can make this okay so I'm putting on my onions like I said just yellow white onions or yellow yellow onions yellow onion and I'm using sweet pepper because I don't have the chachua pepper I swear hope I'm not butchering it so anybody who is from a Spanish speaking country or if you just may know let me know if I'm butchering these names I'm trying so I'm adding everything into here guys and one by one gonna add my garlic next this is like a cup of garlic I'm gonna put measurements because I did kind of count out what I did measure out what I did and this way you guys could actually make it and freeze it up I freeze it because I don't use it every day however I believe you could actually put up like a bowl or something in your refrigerator probably for a week I wouldn't go over a week without it being actually frozen okay so I have a regular food processor this is like a Hamilton Beach food processor I use this a lot for my my vegan dishes I actually used to use this for trying to need my my dough but then I figured your hands are so much better so I'm just gonna pop it on here and this is a quick batch you guys are gonna love this and I'm just going to stuff at the bottom like some chunks of this is good let's get it off the sides put up a little more one more time then we're done here it is guys so it has like movement I didn't put any water in here so that's just fresh vegetables and that's it and and here it go so what I'm gonna do is I'm actually going to put it actually let's take out let's pour it into this bowl here and then I'm going to scoop it into that's a blooper okay it wouldn't come out all right here I have like little chunks of like garlic and just a little bit like exactly how I made the last time so this is very strong guys so what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna put them in some regular ice trays and wrap it up and let it freeze I may put some in a small content I don't know maybe cuz I may use them tonight and make some rice or something some wild rice so what I'm gonna do now I'm just gonna scoop it into the ice trays and freeze it freeze it and then I'll take them out tomorrow I'll take a picture of it tomorrow and then you guys can see how it looks and when I actually pack them into the Ziploc bag and that's it like I said this is a really small batch it looks like a lot I mean it's still a lot but it's still a small batch but this will last you if you use it often if you make stew if you're a vegan you can make some sort of mushroom sort of stew or something and just take a ice cube portion and drop it in there I love trying different foods from different cultures and I would never like that I think that well Spanish food I was just used to from living in New York and it's just something that I just always taken it like it so but you guys can try this out try it out try it out try it out so that's one ice tray and then I'm gonna do the second one and whatever's left I am gonna just put it inside of a bowl and use them tonight and then for the rest of the week whatever I cook for dinner if I need some flavor so this is my so frito also known as racaio racaio I think please if I'm butchering this let me know and this is so strong the good thing about it is that there's no you know preservatives or anything in this and like I said if I can make this you probably can make this and just scoop it in there and I just kind of like flatten it down when it does freeze it's easy for me to get it out I don't want to struggle to get it out add a little bit more actually I don't have a good amount I made so I have like a little bit to put in like a small pyrex and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get some aluminum for you because I don't have any saran wrap I'm gonna put it in one of the produce bags and then wrap it again and then stick it in my freezer so I'll be right back okay I'm back so I have a small amount left I'm actually going to grab let's see how much is in here really small amount I'm gonna use this tonight let's use this tonight I'm gonna put this to the side yeah and I actually don't have to say this and put it in anything so here are the two that I have here and I probably had to leave that to be honest so I'm thinking to add it in here first and then wrap it let's do one at a time hey sometimes you just got to get creative when you don't have saran wrap and let me grab one more bag okay here's another one okay okay so they both wrap like this and then I'm actually you know what I actually am going to just save my aluminum I guess I can you could like this so you can put it in a another I'm gonna do that because that's how I did it the last time and I didn't have any issues because this will have your refrigerator and everything smell like sofito so let's take some of those good old bags from the farmers market and let's just take them and place them in their own bag just slide them in close it up really good that's one and then let's take the other one honestly I'm gonna stick it in my freezer and I hope this helps the smell and it's not a bad smell it's just that I don't want everything in my I don't want my fruit smell like tasting like sofrito smells like sofrito even though I love it and that's it guys that's my sofrito and I'm ready to put it in the freezer for tomorrow and then I'll take it out I'll take a picture for you guys I'll add it at the end and let you guys know how it came out but thank you for tuning in and yet that's my quick sofrito Spanish
