We enjoyed this over lamb racks, done in the oven. We spread half over, cooked about half way, then spread the rest and cooked until finished. I halved the mustard, as I have made recipes using lots of it before and found it to be overpowering. 1/4 cup was just right for us-it let the other lovely flavours come through too.

This is definitely a keeper for me, loved it and I think it is the orange zest. I always ten to use lemon. I would not change a thing in this recipe, and it is good if you are in a hurry. Would be good on the BBQ to I would think.

Excellent, very easy to put together and tasty lamb chops. Love the flavour of the orange zest in the coating. Thanks for a great recipe!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I used the full amount of mustard and actually could have even gone with more (I like things zippy). I used lamb shoulder chops, as that was all I had on hand, and just cooked them a bit longer. I will be making this again.
