Seasoned breadcrumbs for perfect coatings and gratins. For many this is the Sicilian-seasoned breadcrumbs for cutlets, fish and vegetables, but for us this is simply the traditional recipe that accompanies all the tastiest breadings and is fully part of the Sicilian cuisine recipes. The ingredients are few: breadcrumbs preferably homemade and made from semolina bread, grated cheese such as Pecorino or caciocavallo, garlic and parsley, but the result is a tasty seasoning to use in a thousand recipes and even in the mixture for grandma’s meatballs. Useful like Panko but much more versatile. Whether it’s cutlets, meatballs or gratinated vegetables, the seasoned breadcrumbs give every dish a simple but unique flavor, letting us bring lots of taste to the table without spending much. These seasoned breadcrumbs on fish are perfect, but they are just as good on meat and all vegetables; they are prepared in a moment and are truly special. Ready to discover how to make them?

Preparation
To make the seasoned breadcrumbs I suggest using rustic breadcrumbs; you can make them at home starting from stale bread or buy them at the bakery — that’s how we do it. Gather them in the blender jar together with the rest of the ingredients and a pinch of salt if the bread lacks salt, and blend until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Our seasoned breadcrumbs are ready to be used in all the preparations you desire.
Storage notes and tips
Store the seasoned breadcrumbs in the refrigerator for a couple of days, sealed in an airtight container. Alternatively, place them in the freezer and use as needed; they will stay fresh and fragrant for quite a long time.
