Migas Recipe

Crumble the bread into small, bite-sized pieces. Lightly sprinkle the crumbs with cold water, then cover them with a damp cloth.

Let the bread rest for 30 minutes; this brief rehydration helps it soften for frying.

In a deep pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the garlic cloves, still in their skins, but make a small cut in each with a knife.

Fry them for about 5 minutes, until they smell fragrant and turn lightly golden. Once done, remove the garlic from the pan and set it aside.
