🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey

• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 pounds Lamb or pork (roast or chops)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to form a smooth marinade.

2. Place the lamb or pork in a large shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.

3. Pour the mustard marinade over the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. Use your hands or a brush to massage the marinade into the meat for better absorption.

4. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.

5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if roasting, or preheat your broiler if broiling.

6. If roasting, place the meat on a rack in a roasting pan and cook for about 50-60 minutes, basting occasionally with any leftover marinade. For chops, reduce the cooking time to 25-30 minutes depending on thickness.

7. If broiling, place the meat on a broiler pan or oven-safe tray and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (145°F/63°C for medium-rare lamb, 160°F/71°C for pork).

8. Remove the meat from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

9. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad, for a flavorful meal.
