Migas

‘Migas’ is probably one of my favourite Portuguese dishes, and is vegan! Well, I’ve seen some random combination where people add bacon, but no, that is wrong, for obvious reasons, but also, doesn’t add anything to the flavour. Super easy and nutritious, usually a side dish but can also be a main, why not? Don’t be shy on the olive oil and garlic!

Time: about 30 min
