Croutons Made in the Wok

This was a readers tip in Fine Cooking. No recipe with it, but when I read the tip it made sense to me. The lady said you can make more croutons in the wok then on one oven tray....The amount of oil may seem a lot but this is for many croutons and you will need it to crisp them proper. If you want to add Parmesan to the croutons, do that after you turned off the heat, sprinkle on and toss quickly.

great way to use up old bread, I used italian sesame bread and light jewish rye bread, squished some fresh garlic (sliced thin) into the oil, tossed in a wee bit of organic curry powder and after toasting in wok, salted them lightly with Flower of the Sea salt and a small dusting of vegetarian parmesan. Weird but good.Reply
