FRIED BREAD CRUMB TOPPING FOR VEGETABLES



Fried Bread Crumb Topping for Vegetables image

This topping always reminds me of holidays at Grandma's. The only vegetable I ate as a kid was corn, but I hear Grandma used this topping on most of her vegetables. It really makes veggies just a little more special. I tend to only make it on holidays myself. I've never known anyone who's heard of bread crumb topping which is why I'm posting it. My aunt found the recipe in a Scottish cookbook and was even served vegetables with crumbs while on vacation in Scotland. Grandma was of German descent so I don't know how or why she started making vegetables this way. :) Homemade dried bread crumbs are the best, but I've used plain packaged kinds also.

Steps:

  • Put at least 2 inches oil in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat; bring to 350 degrees (or use an electric deep-fryer). Combine the flour with 2 cups cold water; the mixture should have the consistency of thin pancake batter.

HERBY FRIED SHALLOT AND BREAD CRUMB CRUNCH



Herby Fried Shallot and Bread Crumb Crunch image

This recipe begins with shallots fried Southeast Asian style, starting in cold oil, with a method so simple you'll never do it any other way. You don't need a thermometer or any other special equipment - just patience and a careful eye. In exchange, you're rewarded with caramel-sweet shallots that crunch, then melt between your teeth. Next, rosemary, sage and stale bread crumbs take turns in the oil, crisping as they cool. Then, they're tossed with chopped parsley, thyme and a little flaky salt. From the moment the mixture is done, you won't be able to stop eating it. But if you wait, it makes the perfect topping for green bean casserole, potato gratin, or macaroni and cheese. Sprinkle it atop mashed potatoes doused with gravy, or just put a bowl of it on the table and let people do with it what they will - they'll probably end up putting some on every bite.

Time 45m

Yield About 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 large loaf stale country bread, crusts removed and diced into 1-inch cubes (about 5 heaping cups)
2 1/2 cups thinly sliced shallot rings (from about 7 shallots)
2 cups neutral oil, such as canola or safflower, for frying
Flaky sea salt
12 sage leaves (from 2 to 3 sprigs)
1/4 packed cup fresh rosemary leaves (from 4 to 5 sprigs)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (from about 1/3 large bunch)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme (from 8 to 9 sprigs)

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse the bread until no pieces larger than a pea remain. Set aside.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with paper towels and set a fine-mesh strainer over a medium saucepan. Set aside.
  • Combine shallots and oil in a second medium saucepan or a wok, and place over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until shallots begin to bubble, about 2 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-low. With the shallots constantly bubbling - the constant bubble is key - continue frying. Stir regularly to ensure even cooking, until shallots turn pale golden brown, 24 to 28 minutes longer.
  • Quickly and carefully pour the shallots and the oil into the prepared strainer, draining the oil into the first saucepan. (The shallots will continue to carry over to a deep golden brown as they cool and crisp up.) Carefully spread out the shallots to cool onto one of the prepared trays and season lightly with salt. Set aside.
  • Reset the strainer over the now-empty pot and set aside. Place the saucepan with the strained oil over medium-high heat, and add a sage leaf to test the temperature. (Alternatively, use a thermometer to check that the oil is at 360 degrees.) When it sizzles, add the rest of the sage and the rosemary, and stir with a slotted spoon or spider. As soon as the bubbles subside, after 20 to 30 seconds, remove the herbs from the oil and spread them out onto the second baking sheet.
  • Add the bread crumbs to the oil and stir. Cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, then quickly and carefully pour the bread crumbs and oil into the prepared strainer. Spread bread crumbs on the baking sheet beside the rosemary and sage. Season herbs and bread crumbs lightly with salt. Set aside and allow to cool.
  • To assemble, in a large bowl, toss together shallots, bread crumbs, crumbled fried herbs, parsley and thyme, and 3/4 teaspoon flaky salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Provided by Ian Knauer

Categories     Onion     Side     Bake     Sauté     Vegetarian     Casserole/Gratin     Tofu     Kale     Carrot     Winter     Cabbage     Gourmet     Pennsylvania     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Makes 6 to 8 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For vegetables
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced lengthwise
1 lb cabbage, cored and cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices (4 cups)
1 lb kale, stems and center ribs removed and leaves coarsely chopped (12 cups)
1/2 lb carrots, cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
For topping
1 1/2 cups fine fresh or dried bread crumbs, preferably whole wheat
7 oz firm tofu
1 oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/2 cup)
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons dried basil, crumbled
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
1 teaspoon paprika
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Sauté vegetables:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Heat oil in a deep 12- to 14-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and add cabbage, kale, carrots, water, soy sauce, and salt. (Skillet will be full, but volume will reduce as vegetables steam.) Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish.
  • Make topping:
  • Pulse all topping ingredients together in a food processor until combined well. Alternatively, mash ingredients together in a large bowl with a potato masher. Sprinkle tofu mixture over vegetables in baking dish and bake, uncovered, until topping is golden brown and vegetables are heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect fried bread crumb topping, use fresh, airy bread that's a day or two old. Avoid using fresh bread as it will absorb too much oil and become soggy.
  • For a crispy topping, use a mixture of white and whole wheat bread crumbs. The white bread crumbs will provide a light and airy texture, while the whole wheat bread crumbs will add a bit of crunch.
  • Season the bread crumbs with your favorite herbs and spices before frying. This will add flavor and depth to the topping.
  • Use a shallow frying pan or skillet to fry the bread crumbs. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the bread crumbs. This will cause them to steam and become soggy.
  • Fry the bread crumbs in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain the fried bread crumbs on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the fried bread crumb topping immediately or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Fried bread crumb topping is a versatile and delicious addition to a variety of dishes. It can be used to add flavor and texture to vegetables, pasta, soups, and stews. With its crispy texture and savory flavor, fried bread crumb topping is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
