Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound tiny new potatoes
1 large clove garlic
1 small clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon hot-pepper flakes
Few shakes of cinnamon
8 ounces butterflied leg of lamb
1 bunch arugula
2 cups nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
8 ounces Kirby cucumbers
6 cherry tomatoes
5 Greek Kalamata olives, or Italian or French black olives
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

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.
