This is a great basic herbed breadcrumb blend for use on a rack of lamb, chicken parts, pork chops, veal cutlets, fish, mushrooms, cauliflower, shrimp, zucchini, or others.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Course: Sauces and Condiments
Cuisine: American
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh herbs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a pan over a low flame. Mince or press the garlic, add it to the pan,¼ and let it simmer for about 2 minutes on low. Turn off the heat. Add the breadcrumbs, herbs, salt, and pepper, and mix it all together.
  2. You can store this in the fridge for a week or two, or freeze it for months. When it is time to cook, lightly coat the meat or veggie with oil and dust on the breading.
  3. Cook indirect.

Notes

About the herbs. Try to get fresh herbs and make a blend. For lamb I like equal parts of rosemary, mint, and thyme. For chicken I skip the mint and use oregano. Ditto for eggplant.
About the breadcrumbs. Make sure they are fresh and unseasoned. Make them yourself from a good artisanal bread like a French baguette or Italian loaf.
Optional. Add 1/4 cup (59.1 ml) of finely grated parmesan cheese.
