Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Thoroughly rinse all ingredients and use a blender or food processor to blend sofrito in batches.
Start with the onions because they provide a lot of liquid when blended. Add the vinegar, as needed, while blending the rest of the ingredients.
Store sofrito in a sealed container. It will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. Freeze any remainder for up to 6 months.

Notes

Store your sofrito in a sealed container like a mason jar or glass tupperware. In the refrigerator it will keep up to 2-3 weeks (the vinegar helps preserve it). In the freezer, it will keep up to 6 months. Since a batch of fresh sofrito is usually too much to use right away, it’s a good idea to freeze most of it. You can also use an ice tray to freeze sofrito in easy ready-to-use portions. Each ice cube measures approximately 1 tablespoon.
