For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. Adjust the amount of sofrito to your liking. Start with 6 tablespoons and add more if desired. For a vegetarian option, ensure your Spanish seasoning is vegetarian-friendly. Leftover sofrito can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for up to 6 months.
