DESCRIPTION

How to make a festive and delicious Migas with Chorizo for Thanksgiving everyone will enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large day-old baguette you can use whatever bread you prefer, the heartier the better. It should be day-old (not completely hard/stale).
• 1 link of Spanish style chorizo about 100g/3.5 oz, roughly chopped. Semi cured or raw chorizo is best.
• 1 piece of salt pork about 75g/2.5 oz. Pancetta or bacon will also work, chopped into small bits.
• 1/2 red bell pepper diced
• 1/2 green bell pepper diced
• 1 head of garlic don’t peel!
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon of smoked Spanish paprika sweet
• Extra virgin olive oil Spanish of course!
• Salt
• 1 sprig of rosemary optional
• sliced seedless grapes or pomegranate seeds to decorate for a sweet and savory combo optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Rip the stale bread into chunks and put it into a food processor (if you prefer, you can also do this part by hand). Pulse a few times until the bread becomes half breadcrumbs, half small chunks.

2. Place the breadcrumbs in a large bowl and drizzle about 1/4 cup of water on top. Mix everything together with your hands. The bread should absorb the water and be damp, but not saturated or soggy (or too dry!). Add more water if necessary.

3. In a large frying pan over a medium heat, add two generous tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and add the garlic cloves (with skin on) from one whole head of garlic and the bay leaf. Fry over medium heat for a few minutes, browning the garlic cloves
