Sofrito with Tomatoes
To the Sofrito recipe add 1.5 cups of chopped tomatoes. The tomatoes should be added at the same time that you add the peppers to the pan.
You can use the sofrito for stews or dishes where you want to add tomatoes. I recommended if you make a large amount to frozen in ice cubes trays and use as need it.
NOTE: I recommended if you make a large amount to frozen in ice cubes trays and use as need it, however I like to make it fresh.
