This was fantastic! I made it for dinner tonight and it was met with rave reviews! I didn't have orange zest on hand and since I was in no mood to run to the market, I just left it out... didn't miss it. Thanks so much for a great recipe! I'm adding it to the rotation!

Love this recipe! I've made it about 5 times now and here's my tip. For those that find the citrus a bit overpowering, it's not the orange zest, rather, it's the coriander from my experience. Cut back to 1 tsp or even 1/2 tsp and you'll have a sweeter dish with more of a maple flavour. Double the sauce and enjoy it over a nice rice if you have sweet tooth.

Really great! I was skeptical at the spices, but it all melded together and nothing was too overpowering. I did not not have any oranges so I didn't use the zest. I also halved the curry and coriander as suggested from previous reviews. The boneless loin chops (same thing as the roast just cut up) were on sale so I used them and the cooking time was the same. I marinated for 2 hours. Very very good. Thanks for the post!
