• 1 aubergine, diced
• 1 courgette, diced
• 1 red and 1 green pepper, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 ripe tomatoes, grated
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sugar
• salt

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Cook each vegetable separately in olive oil and set aside. Tedious, but it is why pisto isn't mush.
2. Start with the onion (soft, 10 min), then peppers, then courgette, then aubergine, which drinks the most oil.
3. Reduce the grated tomato in the same pan with the sugar and salt until it is thick and jammy, about 15 min.
4. Return everything to the pan and cook together 10 min so it becomes one thing.
5. Best barely warm, not hot. Better still the next day.
6. A fried egg on top turns it into dinner.
