Sofrito Premium PD Recipe

2016-01-05

Sofrito is a blend of sautéed or roasted finely diced aromatic ingredients that are combined as a concentration of flavors used to build delicious ethnic dishes. It is popular in many cultures and varies with the use of red or green peppers, the use of tomatoes or not, and varying spices and herbs. This recipe is based on a traditional Puerto Rican version used to start a classic rice dish called Arroz con Gandules or to add to simmering beans. Many generations have passed since its creation and the flavor-building step to making modernized Sofrito that tastes like Abuela’s (Grandma’s) has been lost. Protective Diet is bringing it back and into kitchens around the world to celebrate the tradition of Puerto Rico’s infusion concentrate that is loaded with protective ingredients and flavor.

    Wow! I have no idea why I waited so long to try this recipe but I’m sure glad I finally did! It was so flavorful and so fast and easy. I loved it and will make it a lot now! Thanks for another PD winner.

    Haven’t tried this recipe yet, but when I make sofrito I would put it in ice cube trays that way I could take out the amount I needed. It is hard to break apart when frozen.

April 4, 2014…it was a new beginning for me. Over the past few DECADES, I’d gotten into some pretty nasty eating habits and I was wearing the consequences all over my body. I was arguably one of the worst fast-food junkies I know. McD for breakfast, most lunches, and many dinners…and fast foods and TV… Read more or comment “Judi B.”

The Protective Diet plan is so wonderful. Between the live class, the website and the interactive group on Face book, it’s like 24/7 support. Even though it can be a little hard in the beginning giving up foods you are used to or always felt were healthy it doesn’t take long to become a believer… Read more or comment “Lori R”

Drop in Cholesterol – Thank you protectivediet.com!!!

The only thing that ever seemed to lower my cholesterol before this was regular exercise. But, I could never get it below 285. After becoming… Read more or comment “Drop in Cholesterol – Thank you protectivediet.com!!!”

Six months PD

Wow! I never thought I’d make it this far! I’ve tried every diet out there since 1999 when I quit smoking and gained 25 pounds. I would lose a few pounds and then get so hungry I’d eat anything and gain it right back. I had been on statins for high cholesterol until I followed… Read more or comment “Six months PD”
