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.

SOFFRITTO
Soffritto is a combination of sautéed onions, celery, and carrots, and it is the base of much Italian cooking. We start many of our dishes by sautéing these ingredients, and then we have this, a very dark soffritto, that we cook for four hours, after which the vegetables are transformed into a rich, thick paste. We make the soffritto in big batches and use it as a starting point for many of our ragùs, such as the duck ragù (see Gnocchi with Duck Ragù, page 187), the wild boar ragù (see Maltagliati with Wild Boar Ragù, page 185), and the ragù bolognese (see Garganelli with Ragù Bolognese, page 189). We also use it to make a rich contorni-Yellow Wax Beans Stracotto in Soffritto with Salsa Verde (page 260)-that we serve in the Osteria. This soffritto might seem oily, but don't let that scare you as it's used to start dishes where olive oil would normally be used. At the restaurant, we chop the carrots and celery in a food processor, but we chop the onions by hand to avoid their becoming a watery purée.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until the oil is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender and translucent. Add the carrots and celery, reduce the heat to medium, and cook the vegetables, stirring often, for about 3 hours, until the soffritto is a deep brown caramel color and the vegetables are almost melted. If the vegetables start to sizzle and stick to the bottom of the pot, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking. Use the soffritto or let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to several months.
SOFFRITTO
Soffritto means lightly or "under" fried. There are many Italian dishes that use soffritto as a base or flavoring, especially for soups, stews and sauces. This can be frozen in cubes for use when needed.

- Start by gathering your vegetables and cleaning/washing them. Peel the onions, wash the carrots, peel them and discard the tips, peel the back of the celery sticks if you want (is not necessary), you can use the most fresh leaves aswell.
- Cut everything into big chunks and proceed to the chopping using a knife, mezzaluna or food processor as suggested below:
- Chopped soffritto is pretty much used to recipes that have other vegetables on it, such as minestrone soup, chicken soup with veggies, etc. If you want the dish to have some vegetable bites on it, you should add the onions, carrots and celery chopped in small cubes.
- Dicing the vegetables is a great way to to add a “meaty” texture, such as in ragù sauces like bolognese or stews like Coda alla Vacinara or chicken cacciatora to name a few. Minced is one of my favourite ways to make my soffritto recipe as it also store better in the freeze (more below).
