Variations

There are many regional variations of pisto using different vegetables such as aubergines, courgettes. Green bacon, pork tenderloin or fish is often used instead of chicken.

Chef's notes

If you can get nice, ripe, fresh tomatoes, then they are best, but peel them first.

Make sure that the temperature of the oil to which you add the chicken is not too hot or it will stick.
