Made it up before I knew it had a name. Not authentic but it went down well

I couldn't anything I fancied in the Mexican cookbook - seems like all the veg had cheese and/or bread of some sort so I thought about ratatouille with Mexican flavours instead. The Spanish do something called Pisto but it's very tomato-ey and I wanted it a bit less gloopy

So not authentic in any way but in the spirit of Spanish/Mexican cuisines

Method

Heat the oil in a big pan (a wok or big deep frying pan with a lid is ideal)

Fry the cumin, sesame, coriander stalks and chilli for a minute or so, then add the onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes and courgettes. Now it's basically a stir-fray

When the veg is pretty much done (it steams if you put the lid on so only takes a few minutes), stir in the coriander leaves
