Ingredients:
3-4 large green peppers
5 heads of garlic
4-5 large yellow onions
1 bunch of cilantro
1/2 cup vegetable oil
appx. 50 recao leaves
appx. 20 ajies dulces (sweet peppers for cooking)
Combine all ingredients into a food processor or blender and chop adding small amounts of water at a time. You don’t want this soupy…but not chuncky either. You almost want it like pancake batter consistency for freezing. Leave some chunks if you like all the ingredients…if you don’t, don’t!
Put in a dish for immediate use or if you want to save it you can put it in a freezer safe dish or freeze in an ice cube tray. After freezing in an ice cube tray be sure to pop out the cubes and put in a zip lock bag or a dish.
When you are ready to use it, just drop a cube or two into whatever you are cooking. I use it in soups, rice and beans (habichuelas)etc.
Happy cooking!
