Tarragon Carrots
Shane Valentine
Carrots are super sweet when pureed, and I added tarragon, an herb typically used in French cooking, which only enhances its naturally sweet flavor. Babies, quite simply, adore their carrots!Sofrito
Shane Valentine
Sofrito is the base used in virtually all Puerto Rican cooking, similar to the mirepoix used in France and the soffritto used in Italy. It's not to be eaten by itself. Traditionally, sofrito is made with recao and aji dulce. These 2 ingredients may be hard to find so I created a version without themRatatouille
