7 Reviews of Pisto (Spanish Vegetable Stir-Fry)

This is wonderful and easy to make too! I cut the recipe down a lot to feed just the two of us. The changes I made ws using a lot less olive oil, only 1 potato and only 1 bell pepper, only 3 tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika and cumin — wonderful results. Next time I would like to try it with the eggs added as suggested in the description of this recipe. Thanks for sharing this keeper!

    I'd recommend adding the egg. This was delicious. The spices worked so well together, but I think the cumin brings the dish together. I made this dish for two and tweaked by sauteing the potatoes until tender, and then adding the rest of the ingredients, including the minced garlic, so as to not burn the garlic. I cooked covered for about 10 minutes, and then added 2 lightly beaten eggs. I made as a main dish but this is really more of a side-dish, IMHO. I love Mediterranean food!! Thanks for posting.

    What a great vegetable/spice combination. A stand out side dish. I used smoked paprika; that added to the flavor. I would suggst adding the garlic later on, as mine got burned by adding it first. I think you could get away with reducing the cooking time quite a bit, I really barely needed to continue cooking it at the last step.

    This colorful stir fry is tasty, healthy, and easy enough that DH actually made it. He made the entire batch so that we have our lunch set for tomorrow. We are not too nuts about green pepper so skipped that but love colored peppers so put 1 red pepper in. The seasonings are perfect! He put the eggs in the last 4 minutes, and covered it so the top would get done. You could also put it under the broiler to get the top of the eggs done. You might add shredded cheese, too. Thanks Nasseh. Made for 1-2-3 Hits Tag.

    Can I just say YUM! This was outstanding. We left the egg off but I will add it next time. I will be using this as a side dish or early dinner with crusty crunchy bread. Was even better for lunch the next day. Thanks for a very lovely meal.
