Roasted cauliflower
Roasted Cauliflower with pangrattato is a delicious accompaniment to roasted turkey. The crispy pangrattato is a delicious combination with the slightly smoky roasted cauliflower. Other vegetables, such as broccoli and romanesco, can be roasted the same way for a colourful side dish. Try adding different herbs to your pangrattato, such as mint, basil or oregano.
Pangrattato
Pangrattato is simply sautéed breadcrumbs. I often make breadcrumbs out of my stale bread and freeze them until ready to use. Did you know that bread is one of the most commonly wasted foods? So it’s good to find a use for those stale bits. You can make the pangrattato several hours ahead of time it you like. I prefer to cook my pangratto in the oven rather than on the stove, as it uses less olive oil.
They can cook in the same oven at the same temperature. How easy is that?
