Your first question may be: "what the heck is sofrito?!" While there are many approaches to making sofrito, at the end of the day it's a blend of herbs, onion, mild peppers (and sometimes tomatoes) in olive oil. It originates from Spain where the word "sofrito" is Catalan (a common language there) and means "to lightly fry". That's because Spanish recipes have you sautéing it in a pan with tomato, onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Yet, other sofrito recipes more common to Puerto Rico and Latin America feature olive oil, cilantro, green bell pepper and garlic and have you blend it into a consistency similar to that of Italian pesto with (more common to Puerto Rican and Latin American style). From there, the sofrito is generally combined and/or sautéd with proteins, grains and veggies.
Here, I've decided to let my recent travels to Spain inspire me to create an outrageously delicious and easy risotto, but instead of actually making sofrito, I'm using Better Than Bouillon Sofrito Base from the Culinary Collection which will satisfy the flavor once mixed with water and transformed into a rich broth to infuse the rice as it cooks! Risotto Sofrito, a creamy rice dish inspired by a combination of Valencian paella and arroz con pollo, is now a thing.

BTB should be extremely indebted to you. You are the reason my family knows and uses it in everything we cook now.
Honored!
You put me on to Better than Bullion Jeff, and I've never looked back! Can't wait to try this. You're looking amazing, btw ❤
Made this for the second time last night. I added i cup of mushrooms and 2 cups of baby spinach and substituted manchego to shredded parmesan. Such a good recipe!
You sold me on BTB 5 years ago and I love the stuff too! So looking forward to making this one! I think the second time I make it I'll add some beans instead of the peas, though I like peas also! Thanks for another one that gives every impression that it'll be yet another of your amazing recipes that I'll make again and again and again! As always my absolute very very best to you, Richard, and Banjo! Take care!!!
😊
Looked TASTY!. Will have to try this one!
This looks delicious! My wife was skeptical about me buying another trendy kitchen gadget, but I went ahead and did it. Now, most of the time after I ask if something sounds good for dinner she will ask if I’m using the Instant Pot! Thank you so much! Also started using Better Than Bouillon and I wonder why I I didn’t a long time ago.
Fantastic!
Looks absolutely delicious! A must try recipe for me ! Thanks Jeff , kudos 👏🏼
Great info… I’m somewhat shelf blind and in the zone to only buy what’s on my list. Tyfs
Edit- I first bought the chicken bouillon because of your video.
I've just bought my second IP as my original is losing its beep. It's had a hard life since I got it almost 3 years ago, sometimes being used twice a day or even three times. It deserves a break. I've got all the ingredients except the Boullon to make this risoto so it could be the new IP's first job 😊
Can’t wait to try! I may add a bag of baby spinach to it also .
I was skeptical in trying this because I didn’t want to go searching for the sofrito flavor but was so happy to find it at my regular grocery store. THE FLAVOR!! This recipe will be in my regular rotation. TY for sharing!
It's so good!
Love this. My switch would be, instead of peas,try gondola's.
Plunging neckline. Lookin good!!
tell me about it. Such a cutie😊👍
😅
I can't wait to try this one! Your chili recipe with the BTB chili base really upped my winter cooking game and I think this one will easily find its way into my rotation!
It looks so delicious. 😋
I have everything on hand already! Dinner tonight for sure
Happy Sunday! Love watching your videos in the morning. This looks great.
Can't wait to try this. ❤
Yum! Thanks for sharing Jeffrey! Love your videos!
I forgot to ask, did Richard like it? …I’m sure he did as I do all of your recipes that I have tried!
We love BTB but can’t use it due to the salt content, even the low sodium version. If they’d make a salt free line I’d be very much on board for that. Salt is easy enough to add at any point during cooking anyway
I made this recipe yesterday and it turned out fantastic! Maybe one of the easiest IP meals to prep. Delicious. Thanks, Jeffrey.
Glad you liked it!!
I'm going to attempt this even though I can't get every ingredient (cries in Canadian). Getting mexican cheeses/blends is difficult and the cost of the sofrito BTB is prohibitive for something I don't think I'd use up before it expires (not available locally, online=import fees). I love BTB, though and keep BTB chicken (and veggie, beef and garlic) on hand. Your risottos always turn out well, though, so I'm hoping my substitutions work. Thanks!
Instead of, or in addition to, chicken could you use shrimp? I have to leave the peppers out but everything else sounds wonderful.
How many does this serve? I want to take to family thanksgiving as an appetizer. I think like 12-18 ppl will be there maybe use half servings? I'm sure not everyone will try it. thoughts?
Jeffery can this be made with shrimp instead of chicken? My wife hates chicken so i either enjoy the whole dish myself or substitute shrimp or sausage.
Gad, never seen so many snarky comments regarding a recipe or freaking fridge magnets before.
Costco has the Italian Herb version. Do you have any recipes for that?
Plenty! Check out my spaghetti aglio e olio
Can you get them to sell it in the UK please Jeff? 😊
This looks good but I would not add cheese. It doesn't seem authentic for either paella or rissotto. But other than that looks fantastic and I will try it.
Why does it HAVE to be Arborio rice? My supermarket doesn’t have that kind. What’s wrong with regular rice?
If you're mixing up the risotto with the other ingredients might you risk a burn situation with the instant pot? Shouldn't you just "lay" the risotto on top of the other ingredients and let it cook without mixing to avoid a possible burn? Other than that...looks good to me...I'll try it. Thanks!
Trust me ;)
I've made almost all of Jeff's risotto recipes. They all include mixing in the arborio rice, and they've all turned out really well. I never get a burn notice and the risotto texture is perfect every time. My favorite is the bacon tomato risotto. I've made it for guests and it always impressed them.
Love Better Than Bouillon
Will You cut me off if I use long grain rice? It’s all I have in my pantry
Yes, I also love and BtB, however this is way too much advertising within the video. The dish looks great though.
Better than bullion is not Gluten free so since my wife is celiac it is a no go. The manufacturer says that they use a production facility that has wheat in it and they don’t test their products for gluten so…….
First
Jeffrey, love the recipe but I feel you were selling the BTB too hard and often. As a sales person, I’d suggest introducing the product than move on. Thanks for your creativity.
I'll sing a great product's praises as the day is long!
A warning for anyone who doesn’t like smoked paprika; it’s very overpowering in this recipe. I’m not a huge fan because of that, but it was edible anyway. Wife hated it though. Maybe substituting chicken bouillon for smoked paprika would improve this recipe? Just forget the paprika entirely unless you enjoy that particular taste. I usually love Jeff’s recipes and have made most of them (the chili is my go-to) but for this one, the paprika didn’t do it any justice.
Thanks for trying my recipes and enjoying most of them! In all fairness though, I don’t think saying removing the smoked paprika would “improve” the recipe as that’s strictly a matter of your specific taste. I don’t think it’s overpowering at all and think it adds a great touch.
It’s stated in the video that you could use regular paprika, or none at all. I too am not a great fan of smoked paprika, but for this recipe I used 1/2 smoked and 1/2 regular! Have fun, enjoy
I love the 14 minute commercial
Infomercial Jeffrey
😂
It works... Jeff got me using better than bouillon...
The man has bills to pay so give him a break. And yeah, he introduced our family to Better than Bouillon and we love it! It really does kick up the flavor tremendously.
Say whatever you want. I just gave you a recipe to make you lick your plate clean thanks to this product.
Unfortunately, the sodium content is a no for me. Health situation won’t allow it:(
try it with low sodium chicken broth perhaps
I don't like that base. It has way to much salt.
I’m always dissspointed when I see btb because they are not kosher
Disappointed to see you removed your Israeli flag magnet off the fridge.
Like many fridges, my magnets always get moved around from time to time. That’s what magnets do. It’s currently on the side holding up a card I received from a friend. There’s no need for your disappointment as I think it’s quite clear what I support.
@@PressureLuck fair enough, but I've noticed every episode it has never moved, carry on.
Let’s focus on what’s this video is about: risotto - not magnet placement on a fridge. ;)
Jeffrey, love you! I’ve used BTB ever since you introduced me to it!!! I have most of the flavors in my fridge but not this one …Amazon does! Probably the only mistake I made in using it was the first time when I thought (erroneously) if it’s so good, more is better! Wrong! Extra potatoes in the dish saved the day!!! I will tell you the one that really surprised me was the ham base…wow! it’s so good in IP cooking of navy beans and ham or scalloped potatoes and ham! I will be making this definitely once Amazon delivers!🤭
