Crumbed & delicious
Making a crumbed meal simply involves coating your food in flour, dipping it in a liquid such as a beaten egg or milk (dairy or plant) and then covering it in crumbs made from bread or things like herbs, quinoa and coconut. You can crumb just about anything, from fish to chicken to vegetables. Once crumbed you can bake, pan-fry or even deep-fry if you have to, until you add a golden, crispy layer of taste to whatever it is you are cooking. Open up your mind to some crumbed cooking ideas with our: almond-crumbed salmon; crunchy teriyaki tofu nourish bowl; crumbed haloumi; eggplant schnitzel; crumbed oyster mushroom burger; herb and quinoa crumbed cauliflower; chicken schnitzel with parsnip mash; coconut and hemp crumbed brussels sprouts; or sourdough crumbed lamb cutlets.
