Pangrattato
Description
The recipe for Pangrattato starts with pulsing stale bread slices and fresh rosemary into coarse breadcrumbs, providing texture and herbal aroma. The olive oil is gently infused with whole garlic cloves over low heat before being discarded, leaving a subtle garlic taste. Cooking the breadcrumbs in this garlic-flavored oil until browned creates a crisp topping with savory depth. Finishing with fine salt enhances the flavors and balances the taste.
This breadcrumb mixture can be used to add crunch and flavor to various dishes such as pasta, roasted vegetables, or salads. Pangrattato offers a practical way to use up stale bread while adding complexity to meals.
