TODAY IS THE DAY SOME AWESOME RECIPES

Today I'll be posting some very boricua recipes, but first I wanna explain what is sofrito. Sofrito is a staple
in every puertorican cooking. Is a medley of vegetables and aromatics which  originated in Italy and Spain.
Back then, it was all mashed together but nowadays is just blended fresh. Everyone has a different approach just like art. Is great for stock and creole sauces and rices. Here's a quick recipe:

bunch of cilantro
half a onion
bunch of culantro
half a bell pepper
2 cloves of garlic
5 ea sweet chili (aji dulce)
2 oz of olive oil

WHY I'M DOING THIS

MY NAME IS ELIEZER RODRIGUEZ AND I'M AN EXPIRIENCED COOK FROM PUERTO RICO ON THE ROAD TO BECOME A VEGETARIAN. WHY I AM DOING THIS?  BECAUSE I WANNA SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH SOME PEOPLE THAT CARE ABOUT EATING RIGHT AND LOVE AND RESPECT FOOD ALONG WITH SOME AMAZING RECIPES.

BORICUA TOFU LASAGNA

  • Tofu superfirm
  • Peppers 
  • onion 
  • garlic 
  • sofrito 
  • salt 
  • pepper 
  • Organic Pasta Sauce 
  • Sazon 
  • Grated vegan cheese 
What I do is I freeze tofu and then thaw it squeeze in a towel until dry it crumbled with hands put the pot with the vegetables to saute a bit I made ​​sofrito seasoning salt pepper made ​​the tofu with a little water and then the rest of the sauce to make lasagna with remaining cheese can substitute for vegan cheese and gluten free pasta (but gets a little more expensive)
