Grilled lamb chops with homemade mint-orange jelly

As you may recall this was a time when fusion cooking was all the rage. A time when simply mixing wasabi into anything and everything made French-Japanese fusion. A time when adding grilled vegetables to a dish made modern Mediterranean cuisine.

I know that cooking is like fashion and that the boundaries must constantly be pushed in order to be tested but I fear that what some chefs labeled as 'fusion' at the time is in reality the fashion equivalent of 'fusing' Mr. T's jewelry and hair with Sophia Loren.

That wasn't the case with Adam's food and this recipe for simple grilled lamb chops is a perfect example of the kind of successful true 'fusion' dishes he was making back then.
