An elderly Italian woman I live with shared a recipe for an exquisite dish from yesterday’s bread.

After the outbreak of a full-scale war, my children and I had to leave the country. My travels led us to the house of an elderly Italian woman, Agatha. She's such a nice and sweet woman. Agatha agreed to take us in her house for free on the condition that I help around the house. But now I don't know who's helping who. She taught me so much! For example, she said that you can make bread that is stale.



Of course, this recipe was not invented from a good and easy life, but it was very useful to me. In addition, the dish is interesting and very Italian. I want to share it with you.

What can be made from bread ingredients

• 400g yesterday's bread
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 tbsp capers
• 1 celery stem
• 4 eggs
• 100g hard cheese

• fryer
• tomato sauce

Preparation

1. Cut the bread and pour water for 5 minutes. You can use milk.
   
   
   
   
2. Capers, celery and garlic shreds. Of course, capers are not the most everyday product for us. You can do without them. You can experiment with other vegetables. 635090
   
   
   
   
3. Bread needs to be squeezed well. Add to it sliced vegetables, eggs and spices. Grind the cheese and send it to the other ingredients. Mix the mince like a cutlet.
   
   
   
   
4. Form small cutlets and roast them in a heated pan for about 3 minutes to a golden color. They can also be baked to do without excess oil.
   
   
   
   
5. Heat the tomato sauce and fill it with patties. I like to grind the cutlets in sauce for a couple of minutes before serving. After adding fresh greens and already serve on the table.
   
   
   
   

This is what you can make from bread if it is stale. These unusual bread patties are very good to taste. I like that they are crispy and very fragrant. They are perfectly complemented by a light salad. Everything together can turn into a rather hearty lunch or dinner. Children also love this unusual dish. And what I like most is that bread is not wasted. Thank you Mrs. Agatha for such an interesting recipe!
