Hi Lelita, You did a terrific explanation of how to make Cuban sofrito compared to others. Thanks so much. It’s very hard to get culantro and the little peppers here where I live. Before I moved, I was able to pick them up and I would freeze the sofrito. I made it all green too. It looks so good. Have a fantastic fun and blessed remaining weekend. You’ll be getting the fall coloring soon. Enjoy.
I’m making my Sofrito today. Where I live now it’s hard to fine Culantro. I was fortunate enough to google Latin markets near me and had to drive a little bit but I found my Culantro. I make mine similar to yours. I’m making a big batch and going to freeze it for my use down the road. I’m a new sub. Thanks for sharing🙏🏽
This reminds me of my abuela. I used to help make sofrito and watching you makes me happy. Thanks for your video. I never knew other countries made a version of sofrito. I love your channel.
Yummm. I thought I was the only one that blended it. Thank you. My daughter doesn’t like the texture when fresh. So I blend it and put it in large silicone ice containers and freeze overnight. Then I take them out and pop the cubes into a bag and leave in the freezer for later use. I will grab one or two depending on the size of the meal. The silicone won’t absorb the flavor because I only freeze overnight. I love your explanation! Every country does it different which is interesting. I’m Cuban and my mom taught me with garlic, onion and green pepper.
I can never find aji dulce where I am or culantro. Once in a while I can find culantro but it's rare. I'm in California. I'm Puerto rican and Cuban so I love all this!
This video was very informative. This is the exact way that my mother taught us to make Sofrito. I never knew that so may countries made their own version. Thanks so much. I love learning new things. Great channel.
Hello friendsssss, just for the record. Sofrito is Puerto Rican!!! Google Puerto Rico’s national dish and you will see that it belongs to Puerto Rico!!! If you know how to make it it’s because you learned from youtube, A PuertoRican grandma/ grandpa or because you’ve lived on the Island of Puerto Rico!!
Hello amiga, I appreciate your strong stance on Sofrito but it originated in Spain. It’s not nice to assume that because I’m black that I learned how to make it on RU-vid. Para que tu lo sepa soy Americana pero mi padre es Cubano y madre Jamaicana. Mis abuelos eran de Habana. Estoy orgullosa de mi sangre Cubana y Jamaicana. We Cubans do make Sofrito traditionally by dicing our vegetables but there are some that do purée it. Latino food is almost the same everywhere with different preparation etc but thanks for your comment and for watching. Many blessing!
He encontrado tu pagina buscando una sopa de pollo estilo cubano....Me gusta tu pagina....El sofrito es cubano....lo usan las abuelita en Cuba ....Bendiciones desde Bélgica una cubana Milly❤❤❤❤
@ Lelitas Cuban kitchen Sorry sweetie to mention that you need to google Puerto Ricos national food and you will see that it is indeed Puerto Rican!!! Sorry to burst your bubble. If you guys call it sofrito then it’s Puerto Rican!!!
@lolitascubankitchen Also there are Dominican’s, Cubans, Haitians, Trinidadians, all living in Puerto Rico that’s where they all learn how to make Sofrito an Recaito!!!
@lelitascubankitchen Please get your information correct!! Be honest and don’t lie!! It looks really ugly when you Cubans, Dominicans, Haitians,, and others lie about where sofrito began!!
