I skipped Step 4 because my mom never did it that way, otherwise the rest of the ingredients are very close to what I use. I don't understand how some recipes omit water; I think it would turn out way too salty w/out water. Anyway, I added cubed one russet potato to my adobo during the last 25 minutes of simmering. Thanks for posting.
