Sofrito
 
 
2 med    Spanish Onions, cut into large chunks  
3-4   Italian frying peppers or cubanelle peppers  
16-20 cloves    Garlic, peeled  
1 lg bunch    Cilantro, washed  
7-10   Ajices dulces (cachucha or ajicitos)  
4 leaves    Culantro, or more cilantro  
3-4   Ripe plum tomatoes, cored and cut into chunks  
1 lg    Red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into large chunks  
 
1 Chop the onion and cubanelle or italian peppers in the work bowl of a food processor until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, add remaining ingredients one at a time and process until smooth. The sofrito will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
2 May freeze sofrito in 1/2 cup batches in sealable plastic bags. Add straight from freezer to the pan.
3 If ajicitos or culantro are not available, up the cilantro (to 1 1/2 bunches), and add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Culantro is not cilantro. Culantro is like cilantro times ten.
