For a deeper flavor, roast the bell peppers before blending. This will add a touch of smokiness to the Sofrito. Sofrito can be frozen in ice cube trays for convenient, single-serving portions. Experiment with adding other ingredients like cubanelle peppers, aji dulce peppers, or tomatoes for unique flavor variations.
