Recipe - Grilled Key West Fish Steaks

20 ounce New potatoes, very small
12 ounce Boneless lean lamb
1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary leaves
One fourth cup Cornichons, pickles
2 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
4 ounce Red onion, or one cup
chopped
1 tablespoon Olive oil
One fourth cup Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
12 Cherry tomatoes, or more
One half Head Boston lettuce, or Bibb
lettuce, one head

* Preheat the broiler if using. Cover the broiler pan with aluminum foil.

* Scrub but do not peel the potatoes and cook in water to cover in a
covered pot 10 to 20 minutes, depending on size.

* Trim the fat from the lamb. If using a stovetop grill, prepare. Grill or
broil lamb, turning once, for 7 to 10 minutes altogether, depending on its
thickness and the desired degree of doneness.

* Remove rosemary leaves, finely cut the cornichons, mince the parsley and
finely chop onion.

* In a serving bowl beat the oil with the vinegar and mustard. Stir in the
rosemary, cornichons, parsley, and onion.

* When the potatoes are cooked, drain, cut in halves or quarters, add to
the dressing; cut the grilled lamb into bitesize pieces and add. Season
with pepper. Mound in the center of a large plate or platter.

* Wash and dry the tomatoes and lettuce. Tuck the lettuce around the edges
of the salad and arrange the tomatoes around the perimeter. Serve warm.

Author's notes * This meal in a dish derives its interest from the sharp
flavors of the mustard and cornichons. But cornichons French pickled
gherkins may not be available on every block. Try a smaller amount of
capers instead if you cannot find the pickles. * If you are serious about
lean lamb, use meat from a boneless leg and trim off the fat. * The meal is
complete with some good, dense bread with a substantial crust.
