Pisto (Spanish ratatouille)

£9.95 tapa portion for two, or as a starter for one. Served with piquitos (bread sticks).

Pisto is a traditional Spanish dish that’s similar to ratatouille. It’s made by sautéing a mix of chopped vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, courgette, onions, and eggplant, in olive oil. The vegetables are cooked until they become soft and tender. This time I have added some chickpeas to the original recipe to get an extra protein in the dish.

Pisto is often seasoned with herbs like thyme or oregano, and it can be served as a main dish or as a side. It’s a flavorful and versatile dish that highlights the natural tastes of the vegetables.
