Treat your ingredients with care...
- Tomatoes — To easily dice the tomatoes, make a small "X" incision at the bottom of each tomato, then blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds. This will make it easier to peel off the skin and dice the tomatoes.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the pisto mixture.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the bell peppers before dicing them.
- You can also add a handful of fresh basil or parsley to the pisto for an extra burst of freshness.
