Soffritto is the perfect aromatic vegetable base that constitutes the foundation of Italian cooking. Made of onions, carrots, celery, and sometimes garlic, it’s a great base for risotto, soups, stews and sauces. Browning your soffritto in butter or olive oil before adding the rest of your ingredients will give a great depth of flavor to any recipe.
Using the bowl attachment of your Vidiem Mixer Grinder, you can prepare a batch in just minutes to use immediately or to store for a later use.
