If you’ve ever wondered what to do with sofrito, you’re not alone.
Sofrito is the flavor foundation of Caribbean and Latin cooking—and once you learn how to use it, everything gets easier. It’s used at the very start of a dish to build flavor—sautéed in oil to create a rich base for rice, beans, meats, soups, and vegetables.
Our Toque Caribeño Sofrito can also be used as a marinade. Coat chicken, pork, seafood, or vegetables, let it rest, then cook as usual. As a marinade, it infuses food with layered flavor while keeping it tender and juicy.
Whether you start your pot with it or marinate first, sofrito does the heavy lifting—bringing depth, aroma, and balance to everyday meals with just a spoonful.
Hands down, this is the best pulled pork around!! Try it with the rice and peas & some green sauce!!
I put that sofrito on everything!!!!
