CANCER FIGHTING FACTS:
Garlic belongs to the Allium family of vegetables, which includes onions, scallions, shallots, leeks and chives. Garlic also strengthens the immune system, helping the body fight diseases such as cancer.

  2. Spread ingredients over the rack of lamb, and apply olive oil liberally.
  3. Top with dried cranberries and lemon zest.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
