Spanish term or phrase: con su refrito

I know that 'refrito' is tomatoes, onion, garlic, but why does it use 'su' here? Does it just mean the sauce that it was cooked it?

rape a la parrilla **con su refrito**

with sautéd vegetables/onion tomato and garlic

Explanation:
Chi chi expression!

Common way of expressing it "Vieiras a la Plancha con sus Verduras " www.corraldelamoreria.com/tapas.html and endless others, but I find it affected!

As such I think it's surplus, so to be ignored. The only grounds for "su" might be in the case of "ternera en su jugo" - where the juice is from the meat.

Cd be a combo of various veg (onion, peppers, garlic, toms wd be the basic - kind of mini pisto) or just the onion/garlic/tomato which is the basic sofrito. The purists may have sth to say, but I think it's a matter of each cook unto his own.
