Quick and easy and a the spices give a different flavor from most types of salsas I've used. Maybe it's cooking the cilantro, not sure but we do enjoy it. No heat like you get in others so perfect for those that would rather not have hot spices, but you could easily add some crushed red peppers if you wanted it.

We cant eat hot/spicy foods so this was perfect for us. I used 1/2 of a red onion along with the scallions and a couple roma tomatoes. Since we love garlic in about everything I did add some minced garlic while cooking the mixture down. Topped scrambled eggs (Potatoo Egg Omelet - https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/breakfast/egg-breakfast/potato-egg-omelet.html#page1:comment2438580) with this sofrito and the flavors were terrific. Made and reviewed for Susie's World Tour 2019 - Cuba.

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
