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

- 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.
