Pulse until its a pureed. REPEAT in batches with the rest of the onions, peppers, garlic, cilantro and culantro.
Spoon into ince cube trays and let is rest for about 10 minutes in the counter.
FREEZE OVERNIGHT.
Remove the sofrito recaito cubes and store them in a large zip lock bag or a large bowl with a lid. Keep in the freezer.
Use 1 or 2 cubes when cooking rice, stews, soups. You can use in marinades too! Just thaw a few cubes for 30 seconds twice in the microwave.
Side Note: I also fill a small mason jar with fresh sofrito to use inmediately then spoon the rest in the ice cube trays.
