    In Haiti we call this epis. We cook everything savory with our homemade epis. So very healthy and delicious. It is so nice to see how different cultures are almost the same ....we have more that unites us than that divides us.... I enjoyed your recipe very much sir.

    I think that is a really good rule good rule to go buy "everything in equal proportion". Growing up in Miami I'm used to and more Cuban style which is similar to this but with some Olive oil boil and citrus like lime or bitter Orange. I'm definitely gonna try this recipe though though because it seems very balanced and a bit more versatile.🙏✌

    i like how you said "to chop something so small, and then fry it" for a base and for flavor. I think the Vietnamese version of "sofrito" consists of garlic, shallot, chili peppers, and lemongrass. We typically chop them up very small and fry it before cooking many different dishes. LOL

      YESSS!! I like to make curries a lot with (more Singapore and Indian ones) and sofrito reminds me of their curry pastes!!! Different pastes are fried first for aromatics and flavor and then usually add and fry the protein, coconut milk, and veggies. The differences are spices used and sofrito has texture while curry paste is smooth. 😻 Very cool!

    There's always that one person that has to put their two cents in here. Well that would be me. Yes its true there's a hundred way to make sofrito, but there's only one basic way. The recipe that chef tito has here is almost a Puerto Rican basic recipe, he forgot one of the basic essential ingredient to even make this a basic sofrito, and this is aji dulce my friends. Sweet Chili Pepper. They come in assorted colors (green, yellow and red) and most of the time they need to be deseeded. Thank you Chef. Its a wonderful recipe.
