(Nutrition information is calculated using an ingredient database and should be considered an estimate.) Sofrito is the secret ingredient in many Latin Caribbean dishes, like alcapurrias, and it's easy to make. It's a versatile, aromatic puree of tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, onions, and garlic.
There aren’t any direct substitutes for sofrito, but if you find yourself without sofrito and need a substitute for a recipe, try using fresh chopped peppers and onions, and fresh chopped cilantro if you have it. You can puree them for a close version of sofrito. Or, consider using a fresh green chili paste.
