Canned, chopped pimentos are simply preserved red bell peppers; they are not spicy. They add nice color and additional flavor but can be omitted if you don’t have any on hand. They come in various size jars, including a 2-ounce size. If you buy a larger jar, any extra will hold in the refrigerator several weeks.

Step number 1 says add the bay leaf. What bay leaf?? Not mentioned in ingredients. I get very frustrated when recipes are not proofread before they are posted and it happens often on this site.
