Soffritto means lightly or "under" fried. There are many Italian dishes that use soffritto as a base or flavoring, especially for soups, stews and sauces. This can be frozen in cubes for use when needed.

EASY SOFRITO



Easy Sofrito image

"This is the one indispensable, universal, un-live-withoutable recipe. Having said that, it is incredibly easy to make with ingredients you can find at the supermarket. And if you can't find all the ingredients I list below see the note that follows for a very simple fix. What sofrito does is add freshness, herbal notes and zing to dishes-you can do that with the onion, garlic, bell pepper, cilantro and tomato alone. In my house, sofrito makes its way into everything from yellow rice, black bean soup, sauce for spaghetti and meatballs to braised chicken and sautéed shrimp. Not only that, it freezes beautifully, so in about In 10 minutes you can make enough sofrito to flavor a dozen dishes. I'm telling you, this stuff does everything but make the beds. You will change the way you cook. I guarantee it." ----Daisy Martinez

SOFRITO

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

SOFFRITTO: 5 TIPS FOR THE PERFECT ITALIAN MIREPOIX

From lacucinaitaliana.com
Estimated Reading Time 2 mins
  • Celery, carrot, and onion: the holy trinity. Earthy celery, sweet carrot, and sharp onion form a harmonious, enriching base that adds deep flavor to just about any dish you're preparing.
  • The detail's in the cut. Dice the celery, carrot, and onion by hand as the heat emitted by a food processor could alter their textures and flavors. Also, cut the vegetables as close to the same size as possible to maintain a uniform consistency when cooking.
  • It's all about the pot. The pot is crucial—one with a non-stick surface is ideal as are earthenware or copper pots which spread heat evenly, eliminating the risk of burning the soffritto and having to start over.
  • Choose your fat. Begin the soffritto with either extra-virgin olive oil or butter. If starting with oil, heat it slightly before adding the vegetables.
  • Timing: go slow. Last but certainly not least: don't rush. To brown the vegetables, use gentle heat and sauté for 15 minutes, stirring regularly. It's ready when the vegetables are golden and tender, and when an intense, lasting aroma fills the room.
