Ratatouille is a well-known and widely consumed dish in Spanish cuisine.. It is a vegetable-based dish, very complete and full of essential vitamins and nutrients. The ratatouille allows to make several variations, you can add ingredients as I have done in this case. But they can also be removed based on taste. However, the base is always the same and the result is always spectacular.
This dish is perfect for children who reject vegetables, as the taste of the tomato slightly camouflages the flavor of the vegetables. The pisto you can serve as a main dish for a light dinner or as an accompaniment to various dishes. The original recipe belongs to La Mancha cuisine, in fact its full name is Manchego pisto and in this beautiful land, it is served accompanied by a fried egg.
