PISTO MANCHEGO

3/24/2018

It just delicious, my grandfather is from Albacete (Castilla la Mancha) and he always used to make us this delicious dish. My mum also makes it very often.

One of the best things about pisto manchego is it is very healthy, the mix of the vegetables (courgette, peppers, onions with tomato sauce makes it so tasty and you can accompany it with lots of things such as rice, fried eggs, in toast, with Spanish omelette, with a fillet... However, my favourite way is with fry eggs.

Is also very easy to make as it doesn't take a long time to cook it, and the flavour and texture is unique.

INGREDIENTS 4Pax:

Chopped tomatoes (tin)
1 Clove of garlic
1 Onion
1 Courgette
2 Peppers (red and green)
Shoot of white wine (optional)
Salt, pepper
Olive oil

METHOD:

Chopped the garlic
Chopped the onions, courgette and the peppers in medium cubes (mirepoix)
In a pan with olive oil put first the garlic, then add the onion and peppers cook few minutes in the medium heating.
Add the courgette, season it with salt and pepper and add the white wine, cook for about 10 min
When everything is nearly cooked add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5-10 min more.
Served with a toast or rice or fry eggs…

Cook with love!

The alioli sauce in used in Spain as a side for fish, meat, seafood, vegetables… it’s one of the best sauces of our gastronomy and is indispensable as a compliment on different tapas including potatoes with alioli and Spanish omelet.
The original recipe of alioli is an emulsion of garlic and oil, currently they still doing in Catalonia (alli-oli) Valencia and Murcia, in most of the regions they add egg, milk, in Canarias they add as well avocado…
I love it, I can eat a big amount of it just with bread!
This is an easy way to make it, I hope you like it and try at home!

INGREDIENTS:

250 ml oil ( sunflower or olive)
Garlic
1 Egg
Lemon
Pinch of salt

METHOD:

In a long recipient pour the oil
Add a bit of garlic, squish a bit of lemon and add the egg
Blend it in the maximum, first hold the blender down and when you start to see the emulsion move up very slow

Cook with love!

Spanish omelette! My favourite! It is not just an omelette with potatoes, every omelette is different! The taste is so good, and you can eat it any time, for breakfast, for a quick lunch, in a sandwich, for dinner, any occasion is perfect!
One of my favourite things about Spanish omelette is they are so versatile, you can make them with ham and cheese, with chorizo, mushroom, with chaca (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKln3EwLN4U&t=1s), alioli... There are so many types, in every cafe they taste different, in every place they have their own way, but the best one is always from our mum's, it is impossible to get bored of it!
Check the recipe on this video, I will show you my own way, is pretty easy, so check it and create your own way!!

INGREDIENTS:

4-5 Potatoes
1 Onion
10 Eggs
Oil (sunflower or olive)
Salt

METHOD:

Peel and slice skinny the potatoes.
Warm the oil and add the garlic, onions and the potatoes, when the potato gets soft drain carefully and season it.
Wisk and season the eggs and add the potatoes
On the sauté add two spoons of olive oil and when it gets hot add the mix, remove it little bit and leave rounding with the spatula.
Lay a flat pan lid or a plate on top and invert the tortilla. Add more oil to the pan if needed, and slide the tortilla back into the pan, cover and finish cooking until set and lightly brown, about 3 minutes more.

Cook with love!

Thanks :)
