No. Sofrito is usually a fresh blend of garlic, onion, and peppers used as a cooking base, while adobo is a dry seasoning built around garlic, salt, and spices. This blend combines both styles in one jar.
How do you use sofrito seasoning in rice and beans?
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons per cup of uncooked rice or to a pot of simmering beans. Stir it in early so the garlic, herbs, and cumin soften and distribute evenly as the dish cooks.
