Nice combination of orange, lamb & the mushrooms. I marinated the chops for 4 hours in the fridge. I enjoyed them but would not rate this recipe as my favorite. It seemed to need a little more zip. Perhaps adding some basil - Not sure but I wnted a taste of something added. Don't misunderstand me I enjoyed my dinner and I'll bet for most this recipe would be just right. Thanks Dee514 for posting it
