Soften the onion and garlic in olive oil for 6 minutes.
Add the green and red peppers and cook for 7 minutes, until the edges soften.
Dice the zucchini, add it to the pan, and turn for 6 minutes.
Add the grated tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and ground red pepper.
Cook the pisto over medium low heat for 16 minutes, reducing its liquid.
Remove from the heat, rest for 5 minutes, and serve when the olive oil gives the surface a shine.
💡 Tip: Do not treat it like menemen by cracking eggs into the pot; classic pisto stays a vegetable stew, with egg added on the plate only if desired.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve pisto warm, with a fried egg or sourdough bread if desired for a light dinner plate.
