Spanish ratatouille

Ratatouille is a very popular recipe in many countries. This is why you will find so many different versions. In this case, we’ve chosen the version of a typical Spanish ratatouille originating from the region of Castilla la Mancha, in Spain. Locally, this dish is also called, Pisto Manchego. This ratatouille is characterized by eggs and is accompanied by slices of bread.

If you’re looking for a lighter version you can omit these two ingredients and thus make a complete vegetable ratatouille. Take note and make this healthy and delicious recipe.

Ingredients for two people:

• 2 eggs
• 1 zucchini
• 1 red pepper
• 7.05 ounces of ripe tomatoes
• Half an onion
• Olive oil
• Salt
• 2 slices of bread

Preparation:

1. To make the ratatouille, we begin by chopping the onion and putting it in a pan over medium heat with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
2. While the onion is cooking, peel the zucchini and chop it. Peel and clean the red pepper and remove the seeds.
3. When the onion is half cooked add the zucchini and red pepper.
4. Grate the tomato or dice it, according to your taste. When the rest of the vegetables are almost cooked, add the tomato. In just a few minutes it will be cooked.
5. Add salt as necessary.
6. Cook for 15 minutes over medium heat.
7. In another pan, heat two tablespoons of oil. When it’s hot, fry the two eggs.
