  • 1 cup of garlic cloves, peeled (from about 3 whole heads of garlic)
  • 1/2 cup of olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add all the ingredients to a blender, or food processor and pulse a few times, until you reach a chunky paste consistency.

  2. 2

    Store in mason jars for consumptions within 5 days. You can also fill each little compartment of a silicone ice tray, with about a tablespoon of sofrito each. Then, place it in a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. No need to defrost the little frozen "sofrito bombs". Just add them frozen to the pan and they will "melt".
