Easy bread crumbs for meat or fish
Posted on January 17th, 2009 3 comments
Cross bread crumbs off your grocery list for good. Tasty bread crumbs are easy to make with leftover ingredients around your kitchen, and they take mere moments to prepare.
If you have stale white bread lying around, don’t pitch it. Just cut off the crusts, throw it in the food processor along with some fresh herbs (I used parsley here) and parmesan cheese, and you have yourself a delicious breading for fish, pork or chicken.
The inspiration comes from Gordon Ramsey’s Fast Food - a great recipe book that encourages you to cook at home, using simple but delicious ingredients.
Bread crumbs might not cost a lot to begin with, but this recipe provides yet another example of how we can waste less, spend less, and all the while eat food that is fresh and flavourful.

Brilliant. I Love it.
I’ve been meaning to ask you and yours - what kind of cooking shows do you recommend?
I sometimes try to follow recipes from the original Iron Chef… but as you can imagine, getting a whole massive tray of truffles or king crab or whatever gets a lil’ pricey

@Em Vin - Great question - in fact I’m going to do a whole post on this very subject now that you’ve inspired me! For frugal and practical cooking, the king would be Alton Brown. Other good ones are the oh-so-French-Canadian Ricardo, because he uses simple ingredients and makes easy, cheap meals. Nigella has some good classic cooking too. For fun I love Top Chef, Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares, and all things Bourdain.
