1. How can you combine fritadas and pistos with meat, fish or tofu for a balanced meal?

Fritada and pisto are versatile vegetable bases that pair perfectly with protein sources to create complete and nutritious meals. Here are some ideas:

With meat: Serve your fritada with grilled beef strips or add pisto over some homemade meatballs. The sweetness of the tomato and pepper enhances the flavor of both red and white meats.

With fish: Try a cod or tuna fillet with hot fritada for a traditional touch. You can also serve it with steamed hake for a lighter dish.

With tofu or plant-based protein: Sauté firm tofu cubes and mix them with pisto for a delicious and healthy vegetarian option. Add a touch of paprika and extra virgin olive oil to elevate the flavor.

Fritadas with meat: tradition and substance

Fritada combines tomato, onion, pepper, and sometimes zucchini. It’s perfect to serve with:

• Grilled or oven-baked chicken: Fritada adds juiciness and contrast.

• Fried chorizo or longaniza: a strong and tasty combination typical of northern Spain.

• Pork in tacos or marinated loin: ideal for sandwiches with hot fritada.

2. Did you know that both fritada and pisto can be enjoyed hot or cold, depending on the season?

That’s right! One of the great advantages of Spanish fritada and pisto is their flexibility:

In winter: Serve them hot as a side dish for main courses or as a base for stews. They bring warmth and traditional flavor to every bite.

In summer: Enjoy them cold or at room temperature, as a salad or tapa on crispy bread. Add tuna, hard-boiled egg, or olives for an irresistible summer touch.
