Lamb chops in horseradish sauce

My mum cooked this for me years ago, when she gave me the recipe I couldn’t wait to make it. Lamb chops baked in the oven with a creamy horseradish sauce, topped with fresh breadcrumbs transforms these chops to another level.

What goes well with this dish?

This goes really well with crocket potatoes or chips and peas.
