MOLIDO: Herbs, Garlic, Onion and Peppers TO MAKE MOLIDO for SOFRITO. Flavors from Heaven!

This is mainly the base of many Spanish dishes. Is a simple combination of herbs, peppers, garlic and onions. If you want to make enough for the week, add some chicken or beef broth, the pour into a muffin pan and freeze it. (You can also use an ice cube mold to get it in cubes.) The use of chicken or beef broth help to pour into the mold.
It is very easy to use. When you use it fresh (not frozen) just add 1 tbsp. olive oil to a skillet, (is better to add a couple of chopped bacon slices to render the flavor of the bacon, smile) then carefully, add 1 or 2 tbsp. of Molido and stir well. Next, add either tomato sauce, beans for stew or the meat. Done. We will have some recipes this week for you to practice and enjoy the flavor that Molido brings to any dish.
