mediterranean diet: ratatouille

One of my very favorite movies ever is Ratatouille. So it should come as no big surprise that making the Spanish version of this Mediterranean vegetable stew recipe, known as Pisto Manchego, is something I just had to make. The vegetable bits are a little less chunky than the French version, the flavors are as garden fresh as you could imagine and the Spanish crispy-edged fried egg topping can turn this healthy side dish into a full scale one-bowl dinner.

If you’re interested in a step-by-step, you can follow this link to watch my video. I was pretty heavy handed with the olive oil (used way more than the recipe really needed), but we had enjoyed a very productive harvest and had almost more olive oil than we knew what to do with - even after spreading as much as we could among family and friends!
