Place all ingredients in blender or food processor.
Add oil or small amount of water at a time just to keep mixture moving in blender.
Spoon this mixture into ice cube trays and freeze.
Once hardened, place in plastic freezer bags so the sofrito doesn't get freezer burn.

rice, soup, beef stew, beans, etc. just throw in 2 cubes of sofrito. Add this mixture to
anything you want to spice up!
