Grilled Lamb Potato Bean And Mushroom Salad Recipes

GRILLED SEASONED LAMB WITH GREEK POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Turn on broiler if using.
• Scrub potatoes, and cook in water to cover in covered pot until they are tender, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on size.
• Put large clove of garlic through press, then mix in a small bowl with hot-pepper flakes and cinnamon. Using your fingers, rub mixture into both sides of the lamb. Prepare stove top grill, if using. Broil or grill lamb for 2 to 5 minutes, until it is browned but still pink inside.
• Trim the tough stems from the arugula, wash thoroughly and dry.
• Mix the yogurt and vinegar in a small bowl. Wash, trim and cut the cucumbers into half-inch pieces or smaller, and add to the bowl; mince the remaining clove of garlic, and add.
• Cut the cooked lamb into julienne strips, and set aside.
• Wash and halve the tomatoes, and add to the yogurt. Pit and chop the olives, and add; season with pepper.
• Cut cooked potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on size, and add to yogurt mixture.
• Arrange the arugula on two plates. Place sliced lamb to one side, potato salad on the other.
