Spanish Pisto

This pisto recipe is Spain’s version of ratatouille. It is a vegetable stew that is made with different kinds of vegetables, such as tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, onions, and zucchini. Often it’s served with an egg on top; I enjoyed it with a toasted baguette to make it fully plant-based. This budget-friendly meal is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser!
