Sofrito is a seasoning used to flavor many Puerto Rican dishes. This recipe came from an older cookbook my Puerto Rican mother-in-law gave me. It makes enough Sofrito to use in dishes serving 6-8 people.

How To Make sofrito feliciano

Step 1

In a small skillet (I use cast iron), brown the salt pork and ham rapidly over high heat. Reduce heat to low.

Step 2

Add in the olive oil, oregano, onion, peppers, culantro leaves, and garlic. Sauté about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3

Ingredients are optional and can be adjusted to taste. Use in recipes calling for Sofrito, or to season meats, rice, and vegetable dishes.
Step 4

Culantro (Plant) Eryngium foetidum is a tropical perennial and annual herb in the family Apiaceae. Common names include culantro, Mexican coriander and long coriander. It is native to Mexico and South America, but is cultivated worldwide.
