Tomato, red pepper and onion cook quickly in the pressure cooker and get blended smooth to make sofrito, the base sauce behind so many dishes of Spanish cuisine. Free of dairy, it can be used confidently at crowded tables.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the vegetables

15 min

Chop the tomato, red pepper, onion and garlic.

2

Pressure-cook it

20 min

Sauté the onion and garlic cloves in olive oil in the pressure cooker, add the tomato, red pepper, sweet paprika, bay leaf and salt, close the lid and, once it starts hissing, lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes.

3

Let the steam release

10 min

After turning off the heat, leave the cooker sealed for 10 minutes so the steam releases naturally.

4

Blend and jar it

10 min

Remove the bay leaf, blend the sauce smooth, and spoon it into clean jars while hot.

Reminder

To keep the sofrito nice and thick, you can simmer it uncovered for a few extra minutes after taking it out of the pressure cooker if needed. Any extra can be portioned into jars and frozen.

Tencereme göre 1,5 kilo domates fazla geldi, düdüklü kapanmadan önce taşma riski yaşadım ve malzemenin bir kısmını çıkarmak zorunda kaldım. Tarif büyük tencere gerektirdiğini net belirtmeliydi.

İlk kez düdüklüde sofrito yaptım, 20 dakikalık pişirme sebzeleri tam istediğim gibi yumuşattı. Blenderdan geçirirken biraz fazla su kalmış gibi hissettim, belki buharı bekletme süresini biraz uzatmam gerekirdi.
