1Fry the zucchini cubes in half the olive oil over medium heat until golden at the edges, 10 minutes; remove.

2Add the peppers to the same oil; cook 10 minutes; add the onion for the last 5; remove.

3Add the remaining oil and the grated tomato with the sugar; simmer 15 minutes until darkened and thick.

4Return the vegetables; simmer everything together 15–20 minutes until silky.

5Season; the pisto should be jammy, not soupy.

6Serve warm with two fried eggs nestled on top — the classic.
