Using leftovers for bread

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Cut the bread into 2 x 2 cm cubes. Finely dice the onion, garlic, bacon, and chilies, then fry them in the lard. Spread the bread cubes on a deep baking tray and place in the oven for 3-4 minutes. Then pour half of the broth over them. Return to the oven for 3-4 minutes. Remove and toss with the bacon and onion mixture. Return to the oven and bake for about 8 minutes. Remove and toss with the remaining broth and sour cream. Serve with a green salad. Tip: Warm bread absorbs the broth better.
