Pisto Manchego

5 from 2 votes
This Spanish dish is similar to ratatouille and made of delicious hearty vegetables. Use the freshest ingredients for the most delicious version of this dish. It works well as a starter or a side dish, but if you're eating it as a main dish try it with a fried egg on top. The runny yolk with all the vegetables and tomato sauce taste amazing
