Directions
Tomato and Vegetable Mix (Pisto Manchego),Posted for ZWT5 from Pisto manchego is similar to ratatouille. It can be served warm to accompany a main dish or cold as a starter or to accompany a salad. The site suggests making a sandwich of baguette, Spanish omelet, and Pisto manchego-served warm or cold. Sounds good to me. Pisto can be used as a filling for sandwiches, savoury crepes, empanadillas or little puffed pastry pies or even as a pasta sauce. Pisto manchego freezes well, so you can make a big batch and use as required. This is an easy recipe for a traditional Spanish dish which originally came from Castilla la Mancha (hence it’s name, Pisto Manchego) but is nowadays a favorite simple dish cooked and served all over Spain. If you want to add basil or oregano, the site suggests trying it. I am guessing at the number of servings as it does not say and it really depends upon whether you use it as a condiment or not.,Russ and I love all things related to ratatouille so this was destined to be a winner. I have thyme and parsley going nuts in my garden right now, so cooked some thyme in it, then finished the dish with a large handful of chopped parsley-otherwise no changes to the recipe. Piggies that we are, we ate half warm tonight as a side and will eat the other half tomorrow cold (almost my most favourite way to eat ratatouille-like dishes).
