Ingredients
  

  • 1 slice slightly stale bread (about 40-50g - I use sourdough for extra flavour)
  • 5 sun-dried tomato halves from a jar
  • 2 tablespoon oil from the sun-dried tomato jar or olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (or 1 teaspoon ready-chopped garlic)
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 lemon zest only
  • 4 stalks fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
 

  • Break the bread into chunks and blitz to coarse breadcrumbs, (be careful not to let them get too fine).
  • Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoon oil from the sun-dried tomato jar in a large frying pan. Add the garlic followed by the breadcrumbs and cook over a medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until just turning golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the thyme leaves from their stalks and grate the zest from the lemon. Tip them into the breadcrumbs along with the chilli flakes, and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for a further minute then serve.

Notes

It is quite easy to burn the pangrattato, so do cook them over a gentle to medium heat, and stir frequently. Don't leave the stove whilst they are cooking and adjust the heat as necessary.
Keep the breadcrumbs coarse for the best possible texture. Just pulse the food processor / blender for a second at a time rather than leaving it to run, and shake it from time to time to move the chunks of bread around.
