A delicious Condiments recipe from the FatFree archive.
Ingredients
I found myself annoyed at having to buy a big bunch of cilantro for a recipe
that called for 2 Tbsp. So.....the best way I have found to use it up is to
make "sofrito", a cilantro-based condiment that you can refrigerate a
looonnnngggg time, almost indefinitely!
The recipe is adapted from my friend Jeanne Lemlin's newest cookbook,
"Simple Vegetarian Pleasures". The amounts of all ingredients can be
adjusted to suit your taste!
Sofrito
3-4 C lightly packed cilantro, stems included, washed & spun dry
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small green bell pepper, cored & chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 C cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
When I make this, I don't chop and mince all the veggies.....I take the lazy
cook's approach and just throw it in the VitaMix.
I use this on burritos, in salsa (instead of fresh cilantro).....anytime I
need fresh cilantro and don't have it. This has that fresh cilantro taste.
