Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet, heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil over medium high heat until it is very hot. Add the onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden. Add the peppers and cook for about 4 minutes more, or until tender and golden. Add the zucchini and salt and stir together for 1 minute more. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to its lowest possible point (use a heat proof pad if necessary). Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very tender.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan, add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring and mashing them against the sides of the pan. Cook rapidly, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the tomatoes have broken down into a thick, not quite smooth puree.
• Stir the tomatoes into the vegetable mixture, then pour in the beaten egg, stirring constantly. Simmer gently for about 10 seconds but do not let the mixture come to a full boil. Taste for seasoning and serve immediately, garnished with the hardboiled egg.

PISTO MANCHEGO WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, heavy, nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until just about tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for a minute or two, until fragrant. Stir in the squash and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toss together for about 5 minutes, until the squash is coated with oil and beginning to soften. Add the tomatoes, sugar, and salt to taste (3/4 to 1 teaspoon), and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down slightly. Add the juice from the tomatoes plus 1/4 cup water, stir together, turn the heat back down to medium-low and cook, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and easy to mash, stirring often and adding water as necessary, every 10 minutes or so as the mixture cooks down and begins to stick to the pan. From time to time press down on the squash with the back of your spoon so that it breaks down somewhat. Taste, adjust the salt, and add lots of pepper.
• Using the back of your spoon, make 6 wells in the vegetable mixture and break an egg into each well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook until the eggs have set, about 6 to 8 minutes (the whites should be set but the yolks should still be runny). Serve, using a spatula to dish out portions of pisto topped with an egg.
