basic soffritto recipe for Italian dishes

Provided by Claudia Rinaldi

Categories     basics

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 carrot
1 white onion (or 1 shallot or 1 garlic clove)
1 celery stalk

Steps:

  • Peel and chop all the ingredients as finely as possible.
  • You should chop them with a knife, cause the food processor heats them, and this might affect their flavor. But, honestly, I always use the food processor, unless I'm doing a tiny quantity.
  • When you are ready to cook, heat a couple of tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a pan or pot, and sautè the soffritto for about 5 minutes, medium heat, being careful not to burn the onion.

  • Chop the onions and celery very finely. I like to keep the sauce thick. So I run my carrots in a food processor / mixie instead of chopping it. Get these ready. Set aside.
  • Heat a heavy bottomed pan and add in the olive oil and garlic. I run the garlic through the garlic press. Add in a teaspoon of store bought dry Italian herb mixture. (Any store bought kind will do. Mine had oregano,thyme,dried garlic and basil). I learned a great tip from Chef Suvir Saran. He once told that waking up the spices and herbs in oil is the best method to bring them alive. Its the greatest indian technique of tempering spices called the tadka that not only works wonders on Indian cooking but to any cooking. It works every single time. I do it for all my cooking. Not just Indian.
  • Add in the soffritto mixture and salt and fry well until cooked down by half. Usually soffritto is not browned. But for this recipe, we want the veggies to nicely cook down and caramelize. It adds a very nice flavor. Cook for 10-15 minutes on medium flame sauteing constantly so the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add in the pureed skinned, de-seeded tomatoes. I just run the tomatoes in the food processor / mixie and strain. That’s my easy route to skinned de-seeded tomatoes. I just strain the tomatoes right over the pan.

  • Start by gathering your vegetables and cleaning/washing them. Peel the onions, wash the carrots, peel them and discard the tips, peel the back of the celery sticks if you want (is not necessary), you can use the most fresh leaves aswell.
  • Cut everything into big chunks and proceed to the chopping using a knife, mezzaluna or food processor as suggested below:
  • Chopped soffritto is pretty much used to recipes that have other vegetables on it, such as minestrone soup, chicken soup with veggies, etc. If you want the dish to have some vegetable bites on it, you should add the onions, carrots and celery chopped in small cubes.
  • Dicing the vegetables is a great way to to add a “meaty” texture, such as in ragù sauces like bolognese or stews like Coda alla Vacinara or chicken cacciatora to name a few. Minced is one of my favourite ways to make my soffritto recipe as it also store better in the freeze (more below).
