The One Addition That Turns Canned Beans Into A Restaurant-Worthy Meal
BY DEB KAVIS
Sofrito is a Spanish style of beans made with the "holy trinity" of onion, celery, and bell peppers commonly found in Cajun and Creole cuisine, garlic, cilantro, and paprika.
The ingredients are all finely chopped and blended into a smooth paste. A simple sofrito recipe can be made with minimal effort and is the perfect use of your canned beans.
Pop open a tin and mix it in with your scratch-made sofrito. If you're starting with a basic sofrito recipe, you can moderate the level of aromatics and spiciness.
