Food Processor
Depending on the type of Food Processor you have, add the ingredients into the bowl but do not overfill. It is easier for my to put directly into the bowl, close than process on low versus feeding ingredients into the shoot. It is whatever is easiest for you. This will need to be done in batches.
I add a drizzle of Oil to assist in breaking down the ingredients. Midway through cycle, I stop and scrape the sides and give it a good mix. At this point, I check the consistency of it since I still like my Sofrito to still have a little texture. Give it a final whirl and place into a bowl.
Continue the process until all ingredients are processed and placed in bowl.
Add a couple generous pinches of salt to taste and stir to incorporate.
Place your Sofrito into freezer safe containers with lids and freeze until ready to use. Don't forget to store one in refrigerator to use immediately. This batch made 6 16oz. containers. Recipe can be cut in half if you are not looking to make a lot.
