Default breading substitute


Finely ground Cheeter's crackers make a great breading substitute. I used
an onion-flavored one on top of a broiled veggie & cheese dish the other
night, and it was quite good.

nutrition info:
Serving size = 3 crackers (each about 2'' x 4.5 '', a little smaller than
a Wasa, and much more dense)
calories: 140
fat: 10 g
protein: 7 g
carb: 6g, of which 5 are fiber; net 1 g per 3 crackers

(For snacking, they're a bit of an aquired taste. If eating a Wasa is a
little like eating cardboard at first, then having a Cheeter's is a bit
like nibbling on a shingle. But I've gotten to like them, especially onion
ones with pepper-jack cheese on them.)

They're a little pricey. The cheapest I've seen them is at
www.carbsmart.com for $4.49. www.netrition.com has them too, for $4.95 box
(and much speedier shipping).

(in case anyone is about to ask, here's the details on the veggie & cheese
thing mentioned above. Two servings:

Saute 1/2 bag frozen veggies in butter (this particular kind had broccoli,
green beans, red peppers, and pearl onions). Add a bit of onion powder and
garlic powder.
Grind up one onion Cheeter's cracker.
Shred a few ounces of cheese (I used onion-flavored Havarti).
Butter a small pan (I used two single-serving ceramic dishes), dump in the
heated veggies, cover with shredded cheese, sprinkle with ground cracker,
and stick under the broiler for about 5 minutes. Yum.

Next time I've going to try adding some cubed flavored baked tofu to make
it more of a main dish than a side dish.

Here's a different idea for breading (I have been using breadcrumbs made
from Atkins bread, but DH says the taset is 'off' and there is still a fair
amount of carbs in the Atkins bread crumbs). This week when I was browsing
around in my grocery store reading labels, I found a product in the
Chinese/Japanese food section called: Baycliff Company Sushi Chef PANKO
(Japanese bread flakes). An 8oz box cost $3.49 and a 1/4 cup of these
bread flakes has only 1.5 grams of carbs (also 3 gr protein, .6g fat and 54
calories). Tonight I used them to make the breading for chicken parmesan,
and we were pleased with the results.

Wow! I never even though about panko. Just assumed that would be
too high in carbs! What a great tip!
