[[File:Sofrito (2957019534).jpg|thumb|Sofrito being prepared from bell pepper, onion, garlic, and herbs]]
In [[Cuban cuisine]], {{lang|es|sofrito}} is prepared in a similar fashion, but the main components are Spanish onions, garlic, and green or red bell peppers. {{lang|es|[[Ají cachucha]]}} is also often used instead of or in addition to bell peppers. It is a base for beans, stews, rices, and other dishes, including {{lang|es|[[ropa vieja]]}} and {{lang|es|[[picadillo]]}}. Other secondary components include tomato sauce, dry white wine, cumin, bay leaf, and cilantro. {{lang|es|[[Chorizo]]}} (a kind of spicy, cured sausage), {{lang|es|tocino}} ([[salt pork]]) and [[ham]] are added for specific recipes, such as beans.<ref>Rodriguez, Hector (October 16, 2017).
