Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pisto Manchego Spanish Vegetable Stew.
Step 1
Start by warming 1/4 cup of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the chopped tomatoes, a sprinkle of sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Let this simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
Step 4
Next, grab an immersion blender and blend the tomato mixture until it’s beautifully smooth, then set it aside for later.
Step 5
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium-low heat.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic and sauté it for about a minute, just until it becomes fragrant and fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add the chopped bell peppers, sliced zucchini, and chopped onion to the skillet.
Step 8
Turn up the heat to medium and stir frequently, cooking the vegetables until they’re tender and vibrant, which should take around 15 minutes.
Step 9
Once your veggies are perfectly cooked, pour the blended tomato mixture into the skillet.
Step 10
Stir everything together, letting the flavors meld for an additional 15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Step 11
Take a moment to taste your creation and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt if needed; this is your chance to make it just right! Meanwhile, in another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 12
Crack the eggs gently into the skillet and let them cook until the edges turn opaque, which should take about a minute.
Step 13
Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let the eggs cook until the whites are fully set, about 4 minutes.
Step 14
Now it’s time to serve! Spoon the hearty vegetable stew onto four plates and crown each serving with a perfectly fried egg.
Step 15
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s not only delicious but also packed with vibrant flavors and nutrients.
Step 16
It’s a meal that brings warmth to the table and joy to your taste buds!.
