Ingredients

• 3 or 4 HORIZON Frenched Racks of lamb
• 6 cloves of garlic, crushed
• freshly ground black pepper
• salt
• 75g butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cups fresh white breadcrumbs

4. Refrigerate for at least an hour.

6. Carefully transfer the racks to a shallow-sided roasting tin or dish, crumb side uppermost.
7. Cook them for 15-18 minutes in an oven preheated to 200C, or until the crust is lightly golden and the lamb is cooked to your liking.

9. Cut the meat into cutlets, arrange on a warmed plate and serve with the salsa.
