Instructions
 

  • Boil provision in salted water until you can pierce with fork.
  • Drain water and let dry a bit.
  • While the provision boils, prepare other ingredients.
  • When all are assembled and ready, heat a frying pan with oil coating the bottom. Drop in a bread cube to indicate when the oil is hot (when it begins to brown).
