How to Make Maple Mustard Lamb Chops

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon orange juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Add 4 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick) to the bowl, ensuring they are coated in the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or refrigerate for up to 8 hours, turning the chops occasionally.
  4. Preheat your broiler or prepare your barbecue to medium-high heat.
  5. Place lamb chops on a broiler pan or barbecue grill. Broil or grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium). Baste frequently with the remaining marinade during cooking.
  6. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh orange zest (optional).
