Pisto con huevos

Allergens: Eggs

Spanish pisto: fried vegetables with eggs on top.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil 2 tbsp
  • Dried oregano 1 tsp
  • Fresh parsley
  • Fresh thyme
  • Aubergine 1
  • Bell pepper 5
  • Courgette 2
  • Garlic 4
  • Onion 2
  • Tomatoes 4 large
  • Eggs 4 large
  • Bay leaves 4 leaves

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish or a cast-iron skillet over a low heat.
  2. Add the onions and a sprinkle of salt, cover and cook gently for 15 mins, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 mins.
  4. Next, throw in the peppers and cook over a medium heat, covered, for about 5 mins, stirring every so often, until the peppers are just tender.
  5. Mix in the oregano, thyme, bay leaves, some black pepper and a little salt, if needed.
  6. Tip in the courgettes and aubergine, combine thoroughly, and cook over a medium heat, covered, for 10 mins.
  7. Stir in the tomatoes, cover and cook for 20 mins, stirring occasionally.
  8. Carefully crack the eggs over the pisto – try not to break the yolks. Cook in the sauce on a medium heat for 5-6 mins until the eggs are cooked through but still a little soft, then scatter with parsley before serving
