Buttered breadcrumbs (Bröselbutter)

1. Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat and heat until it foams and smells slightly nutty.

2. Add the breadcrumbs and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

3. They're ready when evenly golden brown and crisp - be careful, they burn in seconds.

4. Take off the heat, season with salt and a pinch of nutmeg.

5. Stir in the finely chopped parsley just before serving.

6. Spoon hot over cauliflower, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, dumplings or pasta.

Tip: For a sweet version, use sugar and cinnamon instead of salt and parsley - perfect with fruit dumplings or poppy seed noodles.
