Inspired by Spanish tapas, this recipe combines chorizo sausages, bread and smoked paprika for an absolutely delicious and moreish dish. The best part is that this tapas recipe uses stale bread, so you can just use up bread that is about to go off and you'll save money and not waste food - win win! With this Spanish fried crumbs dish you can feed four to six people as a small tapas meal, so it's ideal for a small gathering with friends or family, alongside other tapas. Matt says: 'This might sound a little strange, but stick with me. Chorizo can sometimes be a bit overpowering, but with a touch of parsley to calm it down and the crispy bread to mellow everything, this is simplicity itself. Wash it down with a cold beer and you could be in a tapas bar on a Spanish side street.'
