Pisto La Mancha Style - (Pisto Manchego)

Other vegetables can be introduced into the pisto at will. For example, a cup of lima beans, broad beans, or string beans might be fried with the ham. If you add a vegetable, reduce the quantity of pimiento.

Cuisine: Spanish
Type: Vegetables
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

2		Cured ham - very thick slices
2		Tomatoes - red ripe, peeled (large) and chopped
2		Onions - thinly sliced (medium)
10		Eggs
14 oz	397g	Pimiento - - (1 large can)
		(or 2 large - seeded red peppers)
3 tablespoons	45ml	Butter
1 tablespoon	15ml	Olive oil
		Salt and pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Dice ham and fry in butter and olive oil in a fairly large casserole, preferably earthenware. Remove ham and fry sliced onions until soft but not browned. Add chopped tomatoes. Return ham to casserole. Add pimiento or fresh peppers cut in fine strips. Sprinkle with black pepper, cover, and cook over low fire until mushy. This much can be prepared in advance.

Just before serving, beat eggs with salt and pepper and mix into vegetables over a very low fire while turning casserole and scraping the bottom of it to keep the eggs from sticking. Serve when eggs are still moist.
