Preparation
- For the salad, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Roast until tender, tossing from time to time, about 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the lamb, combine the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the lamb and let stand for 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the salad’s olive oil in a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the canned artichoke hearts and saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the roasted potatoes, sauteed and raw artichoke hearts, fava beans and tomato in a large bowl and toss to combine. Season with 1 teaspoon of the salad’s salt and pepper to taste.
- For the lamb, increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast until medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile for the salad, whisk together the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in the remaining 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Add to the salad and toss to coat.
- Carve the lamb. Divide the salad among 4 plates and top each serving with 2 lamb chops. Serve immediately.
