American Pistachio Crumb
By Chef Grant Crilly
This is a great product that showcases the pistachio at its best in my mind, green, savory and awesome texture. This simple crumb can be made in minutes and stored in a jar for later use. Simply brush your favorite meats or seafoods with egg then sprinkle with the American Pistachio Crumb and bake on a tray at 250°F until tender and juicy on the inside, and crispy green on the outside.
