This comes from a Puerto Rican Tradition passed down for years. It can be used to cook almost everything. Rice, soups, stews. Great on all meats!!! You can make a little or just enough to last you a month by doubling or tripling the amount of all the ingredients.

Steps

15 mins

1

Take off the stems from the ajices dulces. Cut your peppers in chunks (discarding the seeds), and the onions
2

Wash all your ingredients. Place all your ingredients in your blender. (You can also use a Food Processor, or even a Bullet.) You can blend without water, because it releases its own. BUT if your blender doesn't start, just add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
3

Blend until you get the constistency you like then add your salt (optional). You can add water if its too thick.
4

You can store a small pint container in the fridge and the rest in the freezer for freshness for as long as you like.
5

When done be sure to wash your blender/food processor/bullet with hot water and soap so that the flavor of garlic and onion won't stay.
