Ingredients

Instructions

First make the garlic breadcrumbs. Blitz the bread in a food processor until you have relatively fine breadcrumbs with a few larger chunks. Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan set over a high heat. Fry the breadcrumbs for 3-4 minutes until golden and crunchy, seasoning lightly with salt and sprinkling in the garlic granules during the final minute. Set aside.
