The Shepherd's Crumbs

Migas del pastor is one of the most authentic dishes from Linares de Mora. With humble origins linked to the traditional shepherds of the mountains, this recipe demonstrates how traditional cuisine can create a spectacular dish using very simple ingredients.

It is made by slicing bread into very thin strips, which are then moistened and slowly sautéed in a skillet with garlic, oil, and local cured meats, such as longaniza and panceta.

Linares de Mora, it’s very common to serve them topped with a fried egg and to include some fruit in the recipe, such as fresh grapes or pineapple. The contrast between the salty flavor of the cured meats and the sweetness of the fruit makes them an irresistible treat, perfect for recharging your energy after a day of hiking through the mountains.
