What is Pangrattato?
Pronounced /pan-graht-TAH-toh/
Definition
Pangrattato is toasted breadcrumbs used as a crunchy topping — the "poor man's parmesan" of southern Italy.
Stale bread torn and pulsed coarse, then toasted in olive oil with garlic and sometimes anchovy or chile.
It goes on pasta where cheese would clash, especially anything with anchovies, sardines, or broccoli rabe.

Sunday at the majors: a shaky lie in the tall grass, a caddie who has seen this before, and Uncle Larry sinking the putt of his life — then hoisting Sally on the eighteenth green with a sausage link where the trophy should be.
Quick answer
How do you grill sausage and peppers?
Set up two heat zones. Grill Italian sausages over indirect heat for 10 to 12 minutes, then finish over direct heat for 3 to 4 minutes to crisp the casing. Cook peppers and onions in a grill basket over direct heat for 10 to 12 minutes, tossing twice.
