found a new to me cooking base

wagirl · ‎03-09-2010

I found a product by GOYA called Sofrito Tomato cooking base---it has green peppers, onions, something called culantro(cilantro?) garlic and olive oil in it.Says its for rice, beans,soups,chili and stews. No carbs and 30 mgs of salt per tsp. I put about 1/4 cup in my red pasta sauce and meatballs last night and wow was it good! Just wondering if anyone uses it and for what.

It sounds really good. We have very few Goya products around here, so I'll add it to my next Amazon order.

I've used it for a couple of years now. What a times saver!

And altho it's a "canned" product it tastes fresh.

When I open a new jar, whatever I don't use gets transfered to a freezer container & it goes in my freezer until I need it again
