How to cook it

Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and cook the chopped onion and garlic over medium heat until soft, about 6 minutes.

Add the diced green and red peppers and cook for 8 minutes until they begin to soften.
-
Stir in the diced zucchini and eggplant and cook for 10 minutes, then add the chopped tomatoes, bay leaf, and a pinch of sugar and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring now and then, until the vegetables collapse into a thick stew.
-
Season with the salt, fish out the bay leaf, and let the pisto rest a few minutes off the heat so it settles before serving warm or at room temperature.
