This is a twist on the famous Puerto Rican base. I am all about making it easy and fresh and not wasting anything plus I don't have a store nearby that I can get authentic Spanish seasoning so I had to come up with something as close as possible.
Ingredients:
1 yellow onion
1 green bell pepper
3 garlic cloves (you can add up to 2 more if you really want some zing)
1 bunch fresh cilantro (washed)
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil, depending on strength of your blender
Directions:
1. Coarsely chop onion and bell pepper and place half of mixture in blender.
2. Add olive oil, puree.
3. As mixture becomes more like a paste, add garlic.
4. Add whole cilantro bunch through lid opening. You will need to stop blending in order to push bunch down.
5. Once you have a green puree, aka green gold, pour out mixture into an ice cube tray. Should make about 12 cubes.
6. Freeze.
7. When making your favorite stew or rice dish, pop out one cube for every 6 servings and add as base.
