Cooking Tip
Coarse Salt
Coarse salt is available in most supermarkets in the spice section. Coarse salts, sea salts, and kosher salts all bring new and unique flavors to dishes beyond what regular table salt can.

Cooking Tip
Plain Dried Breadcrumbs
Substitute your favorite herb or seasoned breadcrumbs for the plain breadcrumbs, if desired.
