MEXICAN ESSENTIALS: SOFRITO SAUCE BASE
Some people define a sofrito sauce as a Mexican pasta/tomato sauce. Whatever you choose to call it, it is the base for many great South-of-the Border recipes. You make this base and then add the spices you want to fit the recipe you are making. I usually make a couple of batches of this yummy sauce and freeze what I do not need....

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. I listed cumin as an optional item; however, to me it is not optional... it is a necessity.
- 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 4. Add the butter and oil to a skillet over medium-low heat.
- 5. When the butter melts, give the pan a swirl to mix the oil and butter, then add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, bay leaves, and rosemary.
- 6. Cook over low heat, until the onions are soft and translucent, but not brown, about 12 - 15 minutes.
- 7. Chef's Tip: The secret to a flavorful sofrito, is to let the veggies slowly cook and release their flavors. This sauce should never come to a boil.
- 8. Add the wine and allow to cook for an additional 4 - 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes, and simmer over low heat for an additional 40 - 50 minutes.
- 9. Chef's Note: While the sauce is simmering, add some salt, and other optional spices, to taste.
- 10. Fish out the bay leaves and keep cool until needed. It will keep a week in the fridge, and several months in the freezer.
- 11. PLATE/PRESENT
- 12. Use as a base sauce for a yummy paella, spooned over rice, or in any South-of-Border recipe. Enjoy.
- 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Sofrito is the base for most Puerto Rican dishes, and this one is better than store bought (difficult to find in the stores in the Western United States). This can be added to beans, rice, soups, stews, you name it.
