“Better than Ratatouille” Spanish Pisto Andaluz Recipe
This Andalusian ratatouille, known as pisto Andaluz, is possibly the best vegetable side dish in the world. We’re talking a ton of flavors, easy to make, and all done in about 40 minutes. Serve it next to some pan-grilled fish, a crunchy baguette, and a bottle of Spanish wine for a great meal.
To make this recipe, I used a combination of onions, garlic, potatoes, bell peppers, and zucchini. You can mix it up and use different vegetables if you like. To make the tomato sauce, I finely grated fresh tomatoes. You can also use canned tomato sauce, which is similar to passata.
What truly flavors this dish is the olive oil, paprika, and cumin. Make sure to use the good stuff here. As it truly makes all the difference. If you want to add a little heat to this dish. A dash of crushed red pepper flakes will do the trick.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can serve this dish warm, at room temperature, or even chilled. It will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container.

A really tasty and delicious recipe, first time I have done this but it won’t be the last. Another excellent recipe, thanks so much Albert.
So happy to hear that! Thanks for the comment 🙂 Much love
Made this today. 1 portion today with fusilli pasta stirred through. The rest for tomorrow with chicken. Lovely. I used Half can Mutti chopped tomatoes. Thanks.
Sounds great! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂 Much love
I’ve never in twenty years here seen spuds in pisto. Not saying it’s wrong but I’ve never seen it.
This is a regional version from Andalucia, the most popular pisto from la mancha does not include potatoes 🙂 Much love
The ingredients you used are very healthy. I am going to try this dish but my daughter do not like zucchini. Is there a suitable substitute for it without affecting the authenticity of the dish?
Thank you for your good cooking!
You can use eggplant instead of zucchini 🙂 Much love!
I haven’t made this yet, but it reminds me of something my Spanish mother-in-law used to make. I will be trying it out very soon!
It would be helpful if you would give an equivalent measurement for the 4 grated tomatoes. I can’t always find vine ripe tomatoes in my area, and I often need to use prepared tomato sauce.
Thanks for your posts! I always look forward to them!
For every 2 grated tomatoes, you typically get 1/2 cup (120 grams) tomato sauce 🙂 Much love
