Crumbs - it's migas!

So the village fiesta of Torre del Compte 2009, has begun. On Tuesday 11th we all arrived at the peña, (after our art class), and gave it a clean and on Friday 14th we went shopping to buy the drink and some food for the celebrations.

Tuesday evening was our first meal together and it was the "traditional" dish of migas, which literally means "crumbs". Essentially it is the traditional dish of the shepherd who has old bread and some belly pork both of which are finely shredded and fried in a pan with olive oil, not forgetting the garlic of course.

After a lot of very strenuous stirring it is served topped with a fried egg - very satisfying for even the most ravenous shepherd.
