Combine all the ingredients in the food processor/blender. The consistency of the sofrito should be like chunky salsa not watery. Store in a tight food container for one week, scoop what you need for rice dishes, bean stew, soups.

Chef Tip: If you want your sofrito to last longer freeze in a ice cube tray and use what you need.
