Sofrito is the basis of a dish used in Italian and other cuisines.
This gives the dish a sweetness and a deep richness.
This takes a very long time to cook so I would recommend making a lot at once and freezing.

Finely chop the garlic and heat over low heat with the oil.
2

Finely chop all the vegetables. Remove the hard streaks from the celery beforehand.
3

After the water has evaporated, turn the heat down to low and stir every five minutes.

When they are sufficiently wilted and golden brown, turn the heat up to medium and mix well to avoid burning. It is ready when it has a caramel colour.

When they are sufficiently wilted and golden brown, turn the heat down to medium and mix well to avoid burning. It is ready when it has a caramel colour.
Boiling down the vegetables concentrates their sweetness and taste. The sugars and amino acids in the vegetables create a Maillard reaction when heated, giving it a strong richness.
