CRUSTING ADDS TEXTURE AND ENHANCES FLAVOR

Crusting, or the coating of meats, poultry and seafood prior to cooking, is a simple and versatile way to add interesting textures and flavor combinations to almost any dish. Crusting can be done with a variety of spices, cheeses, breadcrumbs and nuts, or with less traditional ingredients such as sesame seeds or coconut. This technique seals in moisture, adds texture and flavor and makes for a great presentation.
