Originally from La Mancha, this dish has become a staple throughout Spain. Its versatility makes it ideal to serve with fried egg, tuna, or simply with good bread for dipping. It is also an excellent option to prepare in advance and enjoy cold or hot.

Our recipe

In this version, we use onion, zucchini, Italian and red peppers, all diced and poached slowly. To speed up the process, we fry the pepper first separately. Then, we drain the excess liquid and fat, add fried tomato and a touch of sugar to correct acidity. The result is a pisto manchego with a perfect texture, full of flavor and color.
