We like to use the Ian’s brand of coarse dry breadcrumbs, labeled “Panko breadcrumbs.” Find them in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets.

To make your own breadcrumbs: Trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear the bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. One slice makes about 1/3 cup. Spread the breadcrumbs onto a baking sheet and bake in a 250°F oven until dry and crispy, about 15 minutes.

  • large red onion
  • ripe Bosc pears
  • chopped fresh thyme
