My simple version of a traditional Spanish vegetarian classic. This dish originates from Castilla la Mancha--hence the name--pisto manchego. Packed with flavor, this will light up any dinner table.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 medium onions, finely sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, finely sliced

  • 1 small potato, peeled and diced

  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced

  • 4 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar, or to taste

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add potato and bell peppers, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add zucchini; cook and stir for 5 minutes more.

  2. Add tomatoes, stirring well to combine the mixture together. Cover and simmer until the mixture has softened, about 15 minutes. Add sugar and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Increase heat and cook, stirring continually, to allow the mixture to thicken to desired consistency.

Cook's Note:

Similar to ratatouille, this can be served as a side to a main dish or cold as a starter or an accompaniment to a salad.
