This Simple Sofrito Recipe consists of peppers, onions, garlic, culantro leaves, olive oil and salt.
Sofrito is a flavor base of herbs and aromatics used in Latin cooking, much like a French mirepoix or the Cajun holy trinity. While there are many versions of Sofrito, this recipe most resembles one found in Puerto Rican cooking also known as recaito.

Steak & Potato Dinner Salad with Chimichurri Sauce here we come!!
When we unofficially declared April as Salad Month, I’m not sure my husband was 100% on board.
Don’t get me wrong he loves salad and makes amazing salads with great ingredients (one of the many reasons I love him).
He also loves a steak and potatoes.
This salad is a tribute to him. The salad loving, steak worshiping man of my dreams.

I love this Mediterranean Chopped Salad because you can make a giant bowl and eat on it for days!
Or in our case you can make it two days in a row because it’s that good!!
We’re definitely on a salad kick right now and I’m loving it.
And my body is pretty stoked too!

They are bright and green and filled with fresh herbs.
A crispy exterior with a tender moist center makes them irresistible and comfortable and oh so delicious.
These chickpea and herb fritters are a staple dish in many parts of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East.
