Have you got any bread left over from yesterday that you don’t know what to do with? Here’s a great idea: you can prepare a typical country dish, made of breadcrumbs. It’s a traditional recipe found in practically all of Spain, although the recipe varies depending on the region. Perhaps it won’t appeal to you… but it’s truly delicious and also has a great many… calories! To help you digest it, what could go down better than a bottle of red wine?
