Traditional Spanish Sofrito image

Sofrito is the base sauce for all Spanish cuisine! Slow cook finely diced vegetables to a puree and keep it handy for paellas, stews, and egg dishes.

Provided by David Pope

Categories     Sauce

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium onions
1 long green pepper (sweet, not hot)
3 cloves of garlic
4 medium tomatoes
2 teaspoons of sweet smoked Spanish paprika

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients. Finely dice the onions, garlic, pepper, and tomatoes.
  • Place a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, turning the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
  • When the oil is hot, add the onions and sautee them until transparent.
  • Add the long green pepper and continue to saute for another 5 minutes. Stir constantly to avoid burning the vegetables, and reduce the heat if necessary.
  • Add the garlic and sautee for a minute.
  • Next, add the tomatoes and paprika, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir often and continue to cook for around 15 minutes, or until the mixture takes on the consistency of a thick sauce.
  • Pour the finished sofrito into mason jars and store in the fridge for up to a week.

  • Cut your veggies into pieces that your food processor can handle and put them into the food processor. Pulse until you have a nice uniform size.
  • Put 2 tablespoons or so of olive oil in a skillet and heat. When it is hot, pour the Sofrito into it. You’ll hear it sizzle and smell the amazing aroma as it cooks and everything blends. Sauté over medium heat until the vegetables are soft and about half the liquid evaporates. About 10 minutes or so the onions start getting soft and releasing their sugars. When you remove it from the heat the juices will be absorbed and it thickens up nicely.
  • Memphis Wood Fire Pellet Grill/SmokerPlace everything directly onto the grill and just let it hang out in the smoke and get happy for 30 minutes or so. This is referred to as “Smoking” or “Hot Smoking”, the temperature is 180 degrees (84c). 30 minutes of smoking is not enough to have any cooking effect on your meat but it is enough to open the pores so that the meat can pick up all the flavor of the smoke. When the grill comes up to temperature put your meat back onto the grill. I did this for 3 minutes per side. Perfect.
  • When the meat reaches an internal temp around 130 – 140 (55c) pull it off, cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will be medium rare. Keep in mind that the meat will continue cooking for another 10 degrees after you pull it off the grill. So for medium pull it at 140 (60c) and overdone 160 (72c).Have everything ready to fry your eggs while the steak is resting. I did two sunny side up. They just made it a little more special with another layer of flavor. Check out the little skillet I use for my eggs. It is 101 years old and I bet it can tell you some history.
