Salsa Española

Like sofrito and mojo criollo, this versatile tomato sauce is a base of Cuban creole cooking. It is an important ingredient in the Ajíes Rellenos con Chorizo, Arroz, y Tomate (Stuffed Peppers) recipe and a delicious sauce to serve over eggs, meat, fish, chicken, or pasta. It is quick and easy enough to make as needed, but may be kept in the refrigerator for a few days or frozen for up to 1 month.
