Super Simple Lamb Marinade

Submitted by Crabzilla

"This is such a simple marinade, so easy to prepare and best of all - it's done in a big zip-lock bag, so there's no mess to clean up. It's great for grilling or for roasting. I use it on any cut of lamb. I'm splurging on two 1-pound pre-frenched racks of lamb from "New Zealand Fresh Lamb" for our anniversary. It makes enough for about 2 - 2 1/2 pounds of lamb. You can always vary the few spices in it to suit your taste."

Great marinade, who would think soya was good with lamb. I didn't have every ingredient thing, but close enough

I was pleasantly surprised. I went with all the five star reviews and tried it. It is fabulous! Best lamb chops I've ever had.

This was absolutely FABULOUS!! I was extremely apprehensive because I tasted it before I put the lamb in thought it was SO overpowering... It wasn't at all. It lended itself perfectly to the flavor of the lamb (after 15 hours of marinating!). I did realize after that I forgot to add the honey but honestly the other flavors were so amazing that the honey wasn't missed.
