Spanish Migas recipe
A delicious recipe typical of Spanish cuisine. Spanish migas are made with bread (usually from the previous day), bacon, chorizo and garlic. A hearty but delicious dish.
Ingredients
- 20 Oz Bread
- 3 Chorizos (fresh chorizos)
- 5 Strips of bacon
- 5 Garlic cloves (unpeeled)
- Salt
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- The night before making the recipe, we are going to prepare the bread: we cut it into small cubes. We put the sliced bread in a bowl and sprinkle with a little salted water. To do this, we mix a glass of water with a teaspoon of salt. Wetting our fingers (dipping them in the water), we sprinkle the crumbs and mix in the bowl. We repeat until they are moistened. We reserve covering with a cloth over the bowl until the next day.20 Oz Bread, Salt
- The next day, when we start the recipe, we check that the crumbs are still moist. If not, we moisten them again in the same way. Cut the chorizo into slices and the bacon into strips.3 Chorizos, 5 Strips of bacon
- We put a good jet of oil in a frying pan, enough to cover the bottom but not more than one centimeter high. Fry the bacon and the chorizo. Set aside on a plate.3 Chorizos, Extra virgin olive oil, 5 Strips of bacon
- In the same frying pan, fry the whole garlic cloves. When they are golden brown (be careful not to burn them), set aside.5 Garlic cloves
- We continue the recipe with the same frying pan and the same oil where we have cooked the garlic and the meat. Now add the crumbs and stir well, so that all of them are impregnated with the oil. The trick is to stir, stir and stir. We are going to see how the crumbs are toasting, once we see them toasted and loose, it is the moment to add the bacon and the chorizo, and the garlic.20 Oz Bread, 3 Chorizos, 5 Garlic cloves, 5 Strips of bacon
- Cook everything together for a few minutes, stirring constantly, and we have our delicious dish ready to eat. We can accompany them with a fried egg and grapes.
Notes
Notes
Note: The bread that we use to elaborate this dish is the one that we have left over. Before it gets too hard, we cut it into small cubes and we keep it in a tightly closed bag, until we have enough for the portions we want to prepare of migas. How to accompany our plate of migas?
There are many options, but what I recommend the most is to top them with a fried egg and eat them with grapes. The contrast of the migas with the grapes is very good.
In other places they eat them with orange segments.
It is also very common to accompany them with fried peppers.
With migas, any option is good.
