Ingredients

  • 2 end slices of a brown bread loaf (stale works better, or from frozen)
  • Defrost frozen bread at room temperature.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 2 sprigs of rosemary
  • Zest of 1 lemon (Your fruit will last three times longer if stored in the fridge!)
  • Couple of pinches of fine sea salt

Method

  • Blitz the two end slices to coarse crumbs in a food processor or similar.
  • In a frying pan heat the oil on a low to medium heat and use a garlic press or fine grater to add the garlic to the pan. Fry without colouring the garlic.

  • Add the breadcrumbs and coat in the garlic oil, cook until golden.

  • Stir regularly to ensure even cooking and prevent the crumbs from burning.

  • Strip the rosemary leaves from the stalks roughly chop then add to the pan and mix. The stalks can be retained to add to soups.

  • Zest the lemon (ideally unwaxed but if waxed give the lemon a wash under warm water with a coarse sponge). The lemon can of course be retained for further use.

  • Season with salt.
