Can sofrito be frozen?

Yes, you can freeze sofrito. When cooled, you can freeze it using an ice cube tray, transfer it to a Ziploc bag, and label it for future use. I don’t recommend freezing it too long because it loses its flavor. It’s better to cook it fresh all the time. But if you are short on time, this option works, and you can add some fresh herbs to bring it back to life. When ready to be used, add directly to the food you are cooking and let it dissolve.

How long does it last in the fridge?

It lasts about 4 days in the fridge, and after that, it starts losing its flavor. For this reason, it is better to use it quickly or make a fresh batch each time you need it.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, you can double the recipe. Since this recipe is forgiving, you can adjust it to your liking.
