I am not sure how to translate this as it literally means "Cadiz Cat [[Soup]]". I assure you that cat is not an ingredient, but it dates back prior to the 16th century before the introduction of [[potatoes]], [[tomatoes]] and [[peppers]] into Europe, so the reason for its name may be found by delving into the past.

However, as well as not containing our feline friends, it is not really a [[Soup|soup]]. The nearest I can describe the texture is that of a moist [[bread-and-butter pudding]].

===Serving suggestions===
Probably best served as a first course, but would be fine with anything that would normally have [[Bread|bread]] with it.
===Variations===
Add [[Herbs|herbs]] or [[Spices|spices]] if you wish.
===Chef's notes===
You have to play about with this really as the amount of water you need depends on the type of [[Bread|bread]] you use. It is best to use stale, but good bread. If you have no stale bread then toast it lightly, without colouring. The less water you use, the better it is.

How much garlic to use is difficult to judge. Personally I think that 3-5 cloves is rather conservative. so feel free to include as many as you wish. I would suggest that you fatter cloves, which can be lightly browned in the oil, but which will not dry up during baking. Brushing the bread slices with additional oil before they are placed in the casserole will reduce the need for water. Remember you need to obtain a bread-and-butter pudding consistency.
