Sofrito/Sofritas? Tomato/Tomato

Sofrito denotes a sauce base used traditionally in Latin American, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish cuisine. While there is no one defined set of ingredients, it typically includes a blend of aromatic ingredients like garlic, peppers, onion, herbs and spices. The sauce serves as a base for a variety of dishes.

Sofritas, on the other hand, is a made up word in recent history. It denotes a blend of aromatic spices usually in a base of chopped protein. These Vegan Sofritas with Charred Bell Peppers pack in the flavor for a dish that will have you coming back for more!

Soup is a quick and easy staple dish that is a great fit for a weeknight. This is a simple recipe that gets a bit of elevation and punch from crispy carrot chips. You can make them as spicy as you like by adjusting the cayenne pepper.

This is one of my favorite quick, simple dishes. You can be creative with this vegan egg salad. Mix up your toppings, substitute your favorite lettuce as a wrap (collard greens work great), or add different seasonings to create variety. I like mine with a Tex-Mex twist (with cumin, chili powder, and cayenne) or a summer variety with dill and fresh celery.

If you are using the homemade vegan mayonnaise, be sure to start the day before since the cashews need to soak overnight.
