I’ve seen people characterize pisto as “Spanish ratatouille” but I guess to me its more like Spanish shakshuka. You can make the eggs separate for the pisto by frying them in a pan if you prefer that but I did kind of just make it like shakshuka. Unlike shakshuka though it has basically no heat and is a very simple flavor but that can be kind of refreshing or comforting. This is a fairly easy dish that is mostly hands off so it’s perfect for a midweek meal especially if you have already chopped the vegetables ahead of time.
