Description

Pisto manchego is a vegetarian Spanish starter or main dish that's packed with flavor thanks to zucchini, potato, tomatoes, and peppers.

Ingredients

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.
