Pisto Manchego hails from the La Mancha region and remains a summer staple, using vegetables at their seasonal peak.
A rustic Spanish vegetable stew from La Mancha, slowly cooked down until sweet and jammy — the Spanish cousin of French ratatouille, often topped with a fried egg.
Sauté onion and pepper in olive oil until softened.
Add aubergine and courgette, cooking until they begin to soften and colour.
Add tomatoes and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 30-35 minutes until thick and jammy.
Season well and serve warm, optionally topped with a fried egg.
Cook low and slow rather than rushing — pisto needs time for the vegetables to break down into a jammy stew.
