Savoury Crumb Mix

I keep a variety of spice blends, pastes, and crumb mixes in my pantry to simplify the process of cooking dinner every night. Typically, we begin meal planning with a protein choice, which serves as the centrepiece of the dish. From there, we aim to create a meal that is both appealing to everyone in the family and quick and easy to prepare.

I prepare a jar of Panko bread crumbs that are seasoned with spices for quick use. Whenever I feel like having chicken fillets, fish or lamb chops, I often coat them in crumbs and cook them either in an air fryer or frypan. It’s a quick and hassle-free process, especially if you’ve seen my mayonnaise trick.

One of the things that matters to me is the quality of the panko bread crumbs I use. I’ve found that some brands are better than others, and sometimes I make my own bread crumbs from leftover sourdough. It’s important to choose a good brand, and if you’re unsure, I recommend checking out this particular brand, as it’s one of the better ones.

What spices would I add to my Panko Breadcrumbs?

Gosh, where do you start? There are so many choices here, and I change mine from time to time. So let’s make a list of dried herbs and spices that work well together.

First, you can put salt, garlic and onion powder or granules in just about any mix. So you could start with these and then add some of the following;

• Rosemary
• Thyme
• Bell pepper flakes
• Chilli flakes
• Fennel seed, great for fish
• Paprika, sweet or smoky
• Ginger
• Basil
• Black Pepper
• Dried parsley
• Oregano
• Parmesan cheese (only add this to what you’re using right away)

Alternatively, you could use one of my blends to add to your breadcrumbs. How much to use? Add a cup of breadcrumbs to a jar and add around a tablespoon of a blend. This will give you a mild flavour. You can add more if you like, but it’s easier to add than remove. 😉

• My Herb blend you can find it here
• Taco blend
• Southern fried blend
• Tandoori spice blend

Notes

Other things you could add to this are

• dried parsley
• dried oregano
• chilli flakes
• bell pepper flakes

You could add grated parmesan to the mixture just before use. However, it is important to note that once fresh parmesan has been mixed in, the mixture cannot be stored in the pantry.  So just add it to the portion you’re going to use.
