You do not need to add the ham, though I add more olives or toss in some capers when I leave it out for my vegetarian friends.

You don't need the annotto oil, just olive.

Do NOT use the jarred sofrito if you can help it, since it's so easy to make fresh -- I just toss a half a bell pepper, half an onion, and a huge handful of cilantro into the food processor with a little oil and just blend it until smooth. I use a LOT more than 1/4c usually!

I've also made this with salmon, and with chicken.

YUM!!
Oh yum! This is so up my alley of cooking! Thank you for sharing it!
