Vegan Portuguese Migas (Bread Crumb Dish)

Ingredients

• 8 cups Stale Bread
• 1/4 cup Olive Oil
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1/2 medium Onion
• 1 medium Bell Pepper
• 5 oz Spinach
• 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
• 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 8 cups of stale bread pieces with the 1/2 cup of vegetable broth. Gently toss to moisten the bread evenly, then set the bowl aside.
2. 2Place a 12-inch skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the 1/4 cup of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the 4 cloves of minced garlic and the 1/2 medium chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant and the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. 3Add the 1 medium diced bell pepper to the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring, for another 3 minutes, until the pepper pieces begin to soften.
4. 4Add the moistened 8 cups of stale bread to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking up any clumps, until the bread is golden brown and has a crispy texture, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
5. 5Stir in the 5 oz of spinach, 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/4 tsp of black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring, until the spinach has wilted completely, about 2 minutes.
6. 6Serve the Vegan Portuguese Migas hot.
