Prepare the sofrito base: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (approx. 180ยฐC / 350ยฐF). Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and optional aji dulce. Sautรฉ until the vegetables are softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant.
โฑ๏ธ 10 minutes - 2
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down and release their juices, forming a thick paste-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
โฑ๏ธ 7 minutes - 3
Pour in the fish broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce if desired for extra spice.
โฑ๏ธ 15 minutes - 4
Add the mixed seafood to the simmering broth. Cook gently until the seafood is just cooked through. This will vary depending on the type of seafood: shrimp will turn pink and opaque, fish will flake easily, and mussels/clams will open. Avoid overcooking, which can make seafood tough. This usually takes 5-8 minutes.
โฑ๏ธ 8 minutes - 5
Stir in most of the chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning one last time. Ladle the hot Fosforera into bowls. Garnish with the remaining fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with traditional Venezuelan arepas on the side for dipping.
