Today we are making Pisto my way, a vegetable medley with courgette and peppers that we love for how versatile it is in the kitchen. We take our time cooking it to build up a rich, flavourful sofrito that works brilliantly as a side dish, an omelette filling, or served alongside a good rice dish.

Prep: 20 minCook: 40 minServes: 8
