Lamb is a tasty alternative to beef. Cuts of lamb, like the loin, are low in fat, making them a good choice for heartburn sufferers. Orange juice gives the marinade a sweet, fresh taste, it’s not an irritant, as so little is used. Rosemary is one of the best herbs to use when cooking lamb, and it perks up the recipe.

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
1 pound lamb loin
1/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, brown sugar, olive oil, rosemary and salt.

2. Place the lamb in a shallow glass casserole dish and pour the marinade over the top. Turn the lamb several times to coat. Cover the casserole, and refrigerate for about 2 hours, turning occasionally.

3. Preheat grill (or oven to 375°F).

4. Remove the lamb from the marinade. Discard any unused marinade. Place lamb on preheated grill (if roasting, place it on a baking sheet). Cook for about 15 minutes or until desired doneness. Let stand for 5 minutes. Slice the loin diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces and serve.
