Kraft Kitchen Tips!
Substitute
Substitute coarsely chopped pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts for the almonds.
Food Facts
Typically panko crumbs are used as a coating for fried foods in Japanese cooking. Since they're coarser than bread crumbs, they produce a deliciously crunchy crust.
Substitute
Substitute fresh asparagus for the green beans, but reduce cooking time in boiling water to 1 minute.
