Creamy risotto with blue swimmer crab and grilled asparagus, finished with brown butter pangrattato.
Pangrattato has humble roots in Italian cooking. Known as il parmigiano dei poveri, or “the poor man’s parmesan”, toasted breadcrumbs were traditionally used when parmesan wasn’t something every family could afford.
Funny to think how far it’s come. You see pangrattato on menus everywhere in Australia now, adding that beautiful crunch and flavour. For us, it finishes this risotto just right. 🇮🇹
