1. Combine basil, parmesan, lemon rind and juice, garlic and butter in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper then mix in breadcrumbs and almonds until well combined, refrigerate until required.
2. Spray lamb cutlets with olive oil and quickly brown in a hot frypan for 1 minute on each side. Arrange cutlets on a baking paper lined tray. Spoon a pile of pesto crumbs onto each lamb cutlet.
3. Bake lamb cutlets at 220°C for 7-10 minutes until crumbs are golden and bubbling. Serve with a fresh salad or greens tossed in Western Star Butter.

This topping is also delicious on seared eye fillet steak served with Creamy Mash.
