There's a type of food that suffers from its complexity – not because it's hard to make, but because people think that in order to make it at home, they have to make the most complicated version. Bún is one of those foods, and migas is another one. You can very easily make these without the beans, cheese, peppers, or anything else you don't have on hand. It will still taste good. Don't fret if you don't have all the pieces every time. Make it anyway. |
