A kind of pisto Manchego

Preparation Time

15 minutes

olive oil, for frying

1 small (or ¹/₂ large) onion, sliced into half rings

¹/₂ long red pepper, deseeded and sliced into strips

4 slices of Serrano ham or chorizo, chopped

¹/₂ courgette or 1 baby courgette, cut in half lengthways and sliced into half moons

10 cherry tomatoes, halved

2 eggs

a few fresh basil or flat-leaf parsley leaves (or a pinch of dried oregano)

salt and freshly ground pepper, to season

bread, to serve

Heat a small splash of olive oil in a frying pan, add the onion and a pinch of salt, and fry for 2 minutes over a high heat until the onion begins to brown. Add the pepper and fry for 2 minutes more. Add the ham or chorizo and fry for another minute. Add the courgette and fry for 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and fry for another 2 minutes.

Make two depressions in the vegetable mixture and break in the eggs, then cook for 2–3 minutes until the eggs are set, covering the pan for the last 30 seconds. Sprinkle over a little more salt, if necessary, and in any case with a generous amount of freshly ground pepper and finish with basil or flat-leaf parsley.

Serve immediately with some kind of rustic bread, or just use whatever bread you’ve got on hand.
