Cuban Sofrito Pizza Recipe

May 23, 2016 By Lucy Darby Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post by Flatout® Flatbread and Society Culinaria. The opinions are my own.

Do you ever have a craving for a very specific flavor? I most certainly do. 

I was making an Arroz con Pollo a few weeks ago, and as I started with the “sofrito,” I remember thinking, “I can just stop right here. I could seriously just have sofrito for dinner.” 

Of course, I went on to make the arroz con pollo – you can find that recipe right here. (You’re welcome.)

But I still had it in my mind that the flavor of an awesome “sofrito” would be good with pretty much anything. I just needed a simple delivery vehicle for the Best of All Cuban Flavors.

For the uninitiated, the “sofrito” is the mingling of the 3 ingredients that make up The Holy Trinity of Cuban Cuisine: garlic, onion, & bell pepper. Gently and lovingly sautéed in olive oil and then kissed by a tomato sauce with a caress of white wine and gently spiced with oregano and cumin. *cue angelic choir here*

I was delighted to have been asked to develop a recipe with a Latin Twist usingFlatout® Flatbreads, because now I had the excuse I was looking for to make thesofrito the hero of a recipe. *thankyouverymuch*

I really love the idea that Flatout® is essentially a blank canvas for just about anyone to work their culinary magic. Also, can you say, “quick and easy?” Those words are a delight to my soul. I knew I could make a quick (impressive!) appetizer, a perfect snack, or a tasty lunch to satisfy my deep sofrito craving.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a Cuban Sofrito Pizza. *stops and takes a bow*

The very BEST part was using the Flatout® Flatbread as the base because, as you will see, you pretty much just need to make the sofrito and the rest comes together super quickly.  (Also, low in fat, a good source of fiber, perfect for pretty much anything you have a craving for.) Thank you, Flatout® for the challenge. 

I’m presently in a situation where I’m cutting back on my carbs, so I decided to make the pizza using the Light Italian Herb Thin Crust Flatout® Flatbread, but you can use pretty much any flavor. The sofrito still wins the day. Also, if you want all the flavor but half the carbs, the Light Flatout® Flatbread is your best friend.
