Peruvian Onion and Garlic Cooking Base

A Peruvian sofrito made from **red onion** and **garlic** cooked slowly in **vegetable oil** until the flavor concentrates. The right point shows when the oil separates around the edges and the mixture turns into a paste with no loose moisture. A classic start for stews and stir-fries: sweet, deep, and unmistakably Peruvian.
