The base to a condiment used in Puerto Rican recipes (like picadillo). In those recipes, it is combined with other key ingredients (like butter, garlic, or tomato sauce) and cooked into sofrito. We keep the ingredients raw here so that they aren't cooked twice, which would weaken their flavors.
Note: This recipe makes a lot. Much, much more than what you need, for example, if you follow the picadillo recipe. You can freeze the leftovers and use them in future meals, or you can quarter this recipie (and still have some leftover).
