SOFRITO demo/cooking class

NOFA (Northeast Organic Farming Association) and Mass Food Access Team invite you to a free SOFRITO cooking class at
The Co-op.

Learn how to make quick and nutritious meals with homemade sofrito from fresh veggies! You can participate in making this delicious dish and take home samples.

Sofrito is a flavorful base made from finely chopped or pureed vegetables and herbs that’s used to enhance the flavor of various dishes. It typically includes onions, garlic, peppers (bell pepper, cubanelle, and ají dulce), cilantro, and culantro (also known as recao). Not only is it a flavorful tool for a variety of recipes, it’s also an important source of fiber and nutrients, especially when grown in healthy soils.

Jody Mendoza, owner of Farming is Life, will bring a mobile market for participants to purchase the ingredients in the recipe (and a few more goodies!) to take home. This workshop welcomes food assistance program participants – SNAP, HIP, WIC, and Senior vouchers – and is open to everyone! It’s an interactive event that’s especially geared towards those who are new to preparing whole vegetables from scratch, and is open to those who have participated in farm share events before.
