Recipe
- Sofrito Ingredients:
- 0.5 bunch fresh cilantro
- 4 large green onions
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 ounce(s) green or red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup(s) parsley
- 0.25 cup(s) extra virgin olive oil (more for thinner sauce)
- Burger Ingredients:
- 2 pound(s) lean ground beef (or lean protein of your choice)
- 4 cup(s) sliced mushrooms (or other soft veggie of your choice)
Sofrito Mushroom Burgers Directions
- Pulse all ingredients for sofrito mixture in a food processor or blender until chopped and blended. Don’t pulse too long. You want it coarsely chopped about like pickle relish. Store sofrito in a lidded jar in the refrigerator if not using immediately. It can also be frozen in plastic bags.
- Makes about 1½ cups.
- Form hamburger meat into patties (or your lean protein choice) and grill or cook to your liking.
- While burgers are cooking, saute sliced mushrooms (or other vegetable) in a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
- Remove burgers from grill, top with mushrooms and spoon your sofrito mix over top of the mushrooms.
- Use your sofrito mix as a topping on eggs, chicken, seafood, chicken, pork..anything!
