Puerto Rican Traditional Sofrito

• 1 bunch Recao
• 1 bunch Cilantro
• 1 Ajices Dulces (small sweet peppers)
• 1 packages peeled garlic cloves
• 3 large green cooking peppers (or bell peppers)
• 2 large red bell peppers (or 1 can of pimientos)
• 3 medium onions
• 1 tbsp water (optional)
• 2 tbsp Salt (optional)

1. Take off the stems from the ajices dulces.
2. Cut your peppers in chunks (discarding the seeds), and the onions
3. Wash all your ingredients.
4. Place all your ingredients in your blender.
5. (You can also use a Food Processor, or even a Bullet.)
6. You can blend without water, because it releases its own.
7. BUT if your blender doesn't start, just add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
8. Blend until you get the constistency you like then add your salt (optional).
9. You can add water if its too thick.
10. You can store a small pint container in the fridge and the rest in the freezer for freshness for as long as you like.
11. When done be sure to wash your blender/food processor/bullet with hot water and soap so that the flavor of garlic and onion won't stay.
