In the back of the pantry, I found a half eaten bag of already popped popcorn from last week. It was stale, but instead of throwing it out I decided to blitz it up to make breadcrumbs.
This mix makes a great coating for chicken, fish, a filler for rissoles or patties. Simply use to replace bread crumbs in any of your favourite recipes.
Ingredients
- 4 cups of popped popcorn (salted)
- 3 tbsp paprika
Method
- Throw both ingredients into a blender and pulse until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.
- If you use unsalted popcorn, add salt to taste once you have blended the popcorn if you wish.
Nutrition:
Normally, breadcrumbs are made from processed white bread with very little fibre. These crumbs are not only good for people who may be intolerant to gluten, but a fabulous way to add fibre to any meal as popcorn is packed full of fibre.
