Sofrito

Sofrito is a flavor base common in Spanish, Latin American and Caribbean cooking made from gently sautéed tomatoes, onions, garlic, peppers and herbs; it’s used to start stews, rice, beans and many sauces. It is relatively light at 80kcal per 100g and delivers the savory aroma and body of a slow-cooked vegetable base. Nutritionally, Sofrito contributes vegetable-derived vitamins and antioxidants (from tomatoes and peppers) and a small amount of healthy oil-based fat, while also adding some fiber and flavor without a large calorie burden. In practice it boosts the micronutrient and carotenoid content of dishes and is a simple way to increase vegetable intake and plant-based flavor in many recipes.
