Ingredients
| 2 | bell peppers (red and yellow is a good choice here), sliced |
| a handful | black olives |
| a sprinkling | fresh chives, chopped |
| a small hunk | stale bread such as ciabatta or sourdough, chopped up into bite size pieces |
| a small grating | Manchego cheese, optional |
| a pinch | Spanish citrus pepper |
| 1/4 tsp | smoked paprika |
| 1 tsp | smoked sea salt |
| 2 tbsp | olive oil |
Method
- Heat a skillet over a medium flame and heat your olive oil until it's very hot. Add in your stale bread and allow to crispen up for a couple of minutes.
- Next, lower the heat to a medium flame and add in your olives and peppers and continue to fry for a further 5 minutes. Add in your spices and season to taste.
- After a couple of minutes, the peppers should become tender and the bread a little softer but still crispy around the edges. If this has not happened yet, then give it a few more minutes.
- Just before serving add in your grating of Manchego cheese and mix well so it melts evenly in the pan and coats the bread and veggies.
- Serving in a small bowl and garnish with fresh chives and extra Spanish Citrus Pepper. Enjoy at room temperature.
