Italian Style Soffritto Seasoning Blend

"Much like a traditional mirepoix, a soffritto is a blend of aromatics that are indespensible in a cook's kitchen. It can form the base of countless dishes, and adds complex layers of flavor without much complex work on the part of the cook. Oftentimes, the soffritto is similar in composition to a mirepoix, as well, but we found that every Italian cook seems to have their own iteration, reflecting their chosen flavor favorites. A stroll through an Italian market will reveal myriad manifestations of the dried veg & herb variety, many featuring larger pieces than you'd normally find in a dried herb blend. It's these mixes that provided the inspiration for Trader Joe's Italian Style Soffritto Seasoning Blend. Our blend includes crispy onions, sun-dried tomatoes, sea salt, garlic, red peppers, parsley, rosemary, and sage. You can really add it to anything - it's delicious in this recipe with cheesy beans, roasted meats and veggies, with olive oil as a dipping sauce, added to burgers or meatloaf, in tomato sauce, stirred into hummus or other dips, blended into salad dressings... you get the idea. It's a versatile Seasoning Blend to keep in your pantry for anytime you want a burst of flavor inspired by the warmth of Italian home cooking. You'll find Trader Joe's Italian Style Soffritto Seasoning Blend in our spice section, in a 2.7 ounce glass jar for $3.29 each."
