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.

Serving advice

Serve the Bocadillo de Pisto with a side of mixed greens or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Presentation advice

To make the sandwich visually appealing, cut it in half diagonally and serve it on a wooden cutting board or a rustic plate. Garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs for an extra touch of elegance.
