Panko


Using Panko bread crumbs is a quick and easy way to prepare chicken or fish.
Lighter than traditional bread crumbs, they maintain essential crispiness longer, and contain considerably less salt and calories. Absorbing far less grease than “Western” bread crumbs, they are a somewhat healthier alternative.

Panko is a good coating to use when baking and I know people who use them to make crab cakes, Mac and Cheese and even French Toast.

Let me know how you use them. If I’m going to bread anything, it’s going to be in Panko. Like the Goat Cheese I breaded in the salad above.

Bon Appetit
