Furthermore, the addition of bread crumbs gives a crunchy note and enriches the flavor of the vegetables. I also put some dry and smoothed red pepper in the crumb, typical of the south. It is mainly used to make cured meats, and was an excellent ally of our grandparents’ dishes.

Your vegetables are ready and the smell is filling your kitchen. You can’t wait to taste them but what are you going to accompany them with?
The advantage is that they are vegetables so they go well with almost everything, good meat, fish, rice …
Even if the seasoning and the taste of the vegetables should be enough, we always have someone around us who can not help but add different sauces. So anticipate and serve them with a little vinaigrette sauce or a little cream cheese like goat cheese.
