Preparation

Step 1
Scrub potatoes but do not peel, and boil 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size.
Step 2
Trim excess fat from chops and brown on both sides in heavy skillet until medium rare. Cut meat into thin strips and set aside.
Step 3
Whisk oil and vinegar in bowl large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
Step 4
Beat in the marjoram, parsley, capers and mustard. Season with pepper.
Step 5
When potatoes are cooked, drain and cut in halves or quarters, depending on size, and add to dressing along with lamb, mushrooms and onion.
Step 6
Tuck lettuce under lamb-and-potato mixture. Decorate with cherry tomatoes. Serve with dense country bread. Raisin nut bread and Italian whole grain bread are good choices.

Very good! Would likely also work with leftover warmed-up steak, pork, etc. But the lamb was lovely. Just fyi, in my opinion the "tuck lettuce under" step seems unnecessary. I just put lettuce in bottom of bowl, mixed the other stuff in another bowl, and then poured dressing on top.
