How to Make Tomato And Vegetable Mix Pisto Manchego

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  2. Score an 'X' on the bottom of each tomato. Blanch tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately transfer to an ice bath. Peel and dice tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces (approximately 4 cups diced tomatoes).
  3. Peel and finely chop 1 medium onion (about 1 cup chopped). Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  4. Clean and thinly slice 1 green bell pepper (about 1 cup sliced) and 1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup sliced).
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  6. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  7. Increase heat to medium. Add the sliced bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  8. Add the sliced zucchini, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes.
  9. Add the diced tomatoes, stir well, and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  10. Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  11. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing excess liquid to evaporate. Be careful not to burn the vegetables.
  13. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
