Sauteed ingredients with thermomix
100 grams of olive oil
300 grams of onion
2 garlic cloves
3 leeks (the white part)
3 tomatoes or 200 grams of crushed tomato
Sauté preparation with thermomix
We start by peeling and cutting the onion and garlic into small pieces. We also cut the leeks into thin slices.
We put all the ingredients in the Thermomix glass. We program the machine to
speed 5 / 4 seconds
In this way, the ingredients will mix evenly.
Then, we program the Thermomix to
varoma temperature / speed 1 / 10 minutes
It is important that no water is added to the mixture, as the oil and liquids from the vegetables will be enough to cook the ingredients.
After 10 minutes, if we want our sauce to be completely crushed, we can program the Thermomix to
speed 6 / 15 seconds
And that’s it! We have ready our sofrito with Thermomix. We can use it in any dish that we want to give it flavor: rice, stews, pasta, etc.
Can you freeze a stir-fry?
Yes, you can freeze the stir-fry. To do this, it is advisable to wait for it to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container or freezer bag. It can also be frozen in small portions so that only what is necessary can be defrosted.
What is the difference between a stir-fry and a refried?
The main difference between a refry and a stir-fry is that the former involves cooking the ingredients in hot oil until golden brown and crisp, while the stir-fry involves cooking the ingredients in oil over medium to low heat until soft and tender. Refry is a common technique in Mexican cooking, while sofrito is more common in Mediterranean and Latin cuisine.
