MAKES ABOUT 1 CUP
3 slices hearty sandwich bread, dried overnight on the
counter (see Note above)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium cloves garlic, minced or grated on a
Microplane (about 2 teaspoons)
4 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Tear the bread into rough 2-inch pieces and pulse in a
food processor until coarse crumbs are formed.
- Melt the butter in a 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet over
medium heat. Add the garlic and anchovies, reduce the
heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until
the garlic is lightly browned and the anchovies have
dissolved, about 6 minutes. Add the bread crumbs,
increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring and
tossing constantly, until the bread crumbs are well toasted
