LAMB WITH WARM POTATO & OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling, lightly salted water for 10-12 mins, then drain and transfer to a baking sheet to cool.

Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, mix with the olives, yogurt and vinegar, and add salt to taste. Serve warm with the sliced lamb loin and the leaves.
