They’ll be even more surprised when they find out that it’s healthy! Of course that does not mean you can have extra – remember portion control and stick to one serving!
6 servings
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dry mustard
6 (5-ounce) lamb chops, trimmed of fat
6 fresh mint sprigs
Preheat broiler or grill. In a small bowl, mix the honey, lemon juice, orange juice, rosemary, mustard, garlic, onion powder, and dry mustard to create a basting sauce. Brush each side of the lamb chops with the sauce and place on broiler pan or grill. Broil one side 5” to 6” from heat for 6 to 7 minutes or until brown then turn chops and brush with remaining basting sauce and broil for another 6 to 7 minutes or until brown. (Grill, basting and turning frequently for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through.)
Garnish with mint and serve.
