Pisto looks glorious, and it tastes even better. It is one of my favourite meals of high summer when homegrown peppers, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and courgettes are all in season, but there is no reason why the dish cannot be enjoyed all year round.

The vegetables are complemented by a poached egg and a crusty baguette. The dish is a wonderful combination of flavours, and is full of nutrition too.
