Pangrattato, Italy's 'poor man's parmesan', wins new fans
Original: Pangrattato. Italian grandmothers have called it poor man's parmesan for four hundred years. Cost: nothing. Keeps a week
Pangrattato, a centuries-old Italian dish made from stale breadcrumbs toasted with olive oil and seasoning, is being hailed online as a frugal staple that costs nothing to make and keeps for about a week. Long known among Italian grandmothers as 'poor man's parmesan', it is being promoted as a way to cut food waste by using up stale bread ends.
Why now: Rising interest in frugal cooking and reducing food waste has put traditional zero-cost recipes like pangrattato back in the spotlight.
