Grilled Seasoned Lamb With Greek Potato Salad Recipes

GRILLED LAMB WITH GREEK SPINACH PITA SALAD

Steps:

• To marinate the lamb, whisk together 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, the garlic and oregano in a medium baking dish. Add the lamb and turn to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
• Heat your grill to high.
• Remove the lamb from the marinade and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the grill and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the lamb over and continue grilling to medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• While the lamb is resting, brush each pita on both sides with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and slightly crisp, approximately 30 seconds per side.
• To make the salad, whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, dill, salt and pepper to taste, and the honey in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil until emulsified. Add the spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, olives and feta to the bowl and toss to combine.
• Top each pita with some of the salad and top with several slices of the lamb.

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.

GRILLED LAMB GREEK SALAD WRAP

Steps:

• Tomato Salad: Mix all ingredients together and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

GRILLED GREEK POTATO SALAD

GREEK ROAST LAMB AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, mustard, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir the potatoes into the bowl to coat with orange juice mixture. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, and place them into a large roasting pan.
• Cut slits into the lamb meat, and stuff the garlic cloves into the slits. Rub remaining orange juice mixture from bowl all over the lamb, and place the lamb on top of the potatoes in the roasting pan. If there's any remaining orange juice mixture, pour it over the lamb.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and the lamb is cooked to medium, about 1 hour. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Check every 30 minutes while roasting, and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot water if you find the potatoes are drying out. If the lamb finishes cooking before the potatoes, remove the lamb to a cutting board or serving platter and cover with foil while the potatoes continue to bake in the oven.
