I think it's also (or at least peppers are also) an important ingredient in sofregit.

 

Strangely, no. The Catalan sofregit is just comprised of tomatoes and onions (or garlic). I asked my MIL, if she knows sofregit with peppers and her answer was "you can put it, but its more of a sofrito then". So, acoording to her the Spanish sofrito might contain peppers (which contradicts some recipes I found online), but it also contains variable amounts of different onions,  carrots, celery, garlic, even herbs - so maybe it doesn't matter to have pepper in there as well 😜
