Lamb Chops With Mustard-Molasses Glaze

Submitted by Dr. Jenny

"DH and I made these lamb chops from my Bobby Flay "Boy Meets Grill" cookbook. We liked how fast and easy they were, requiring minimal prep. We used lamb loin chops. DH said next time we will use rib chops as he didn't think the loin chops needed all of the dressing up, though he agreed the glaze was very nice."
