I have made this dish before but I wanted to change it up a bit and add fish so it would be a bit richer. In case you are not familiar with Sofrito here is a description:
This aromatic cooking base combines the bold flavors of tomato, onion, green peppers, cilantro and garlic, saving you valuable prep time in the kitchen. A heaping spoonful of Sofrito added to soups and stews is a classic first-step ingredient to authentic Latino cooking. From the Goya.com site.
My recipe consisted of :
One jar of Sofrito cooking base
One whole onion diced
2 stalks of celery diced
1 pound of shrimp
3 filets of tilapia
2 cups of rice
Directions:
Start by sauteing the tilapia in butter until cooked through. Remove from pan, add the onion and celery to the drippings from the fish and saute. Add the entire jar of Sofrito sauce and simmer. After about ten minutes add the shrimp and fish back in simmer for ten minutes. The fish is very delicate and should break up in the sauce. You can serve this over rice. My kids loved this and it was so easy to make. My toddler even loved this and he is the pickiest eater I have ever met.
