WARM LAMB SALAD WITH ORZO AND HARISSA

Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • ½ cup orzo or rice, or wheat berries
  • 1 T. harissa
  • 1 t. red wine vinegar
  • Salt
  • 1 lamb chop or ¼ pound chopped leg or shoulder meat, or ground lamb
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 1 large bunch arugula or spinach

Instructions

  • Cook orzo (or grains) according to package directions. Drain and mix with the harissa and vinegar. Add salt as needed. Brown meat in olive oil; toss with the orzo and greens.
  • Or for a fancier presentation, sear lamb chop in olive oil on high heat, about 4 minutes per side depending on the thickness and desired doneness. As a pretty good rule of thumb, if you cook the first side until you start to see the juices coming out on the top, then flip it immediately and cook 4 minutes more, it will be medium-rare. Slice thinly and arrange over the salad.
