Recipe Helge's Pretzel Croutons

Ingredients :

• 2-3 stale or old pretzels
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary
• 2 springs fresh thyme
• 1 handful fresh parsley
• (variation: 1/2 tsp cumin seeds)
• to taste salt & pepper

Method :

1. Cut the pretzels or bread into to little cubes about 1 cm or so in size. Chop all the herbs finely.
2. In a large frying pan, melt the butter and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the pretzel cubes and saute them until crisp. Add more olive oil (or butter) if needed.
3. After the pretzel cubes are starting to get fairly crisp, add in the herbs and saute for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. If the herbs are starting to burn but the pretzel cubes are still too soft, finish them off in a 170°C/340°F oven for about 10 minutes (turning halfway through). You can also use the oven method if you don"t want to add too much more oil/butter.
5. To store, let the croutons cool down and put them in an airtight container or jar. They"ll be good for several days.
