Saltines are an overlooked pantry staple, but this versatile ingredient is so much more than a bland snack.
When I was growing up, saltines were an absolute staple in our house. My parents would buy a big box of them from Sam’s Club, probably enough to keep our family of four full for at least a week if we ate nothing else. They would make an appearance whenever we ate soup, whenever my dad would eat his stinky saltines from a tin and whenever we were craving a crunchy topping but didn’t happen to have any croutons in the pantry.
I’m glad I’ve grown and matured as a person because I now see what a valuable ingredient the humble saltine can really be. Sure, it can be used as a simple companion to a bowl of soup, but it can be so much more than that. I was reminded of this recently when I came acrossfrom Saveur editor Ellen Fort. The recipe instructs you to marinate the crackers overnight in a spice-infused oil before baking them to browned, crispy perfection.
