• Ingredients
  1. 1 1/4 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  2. 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  3. Salt and freshly ground pepper
  4. 1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  5. 1 garlic clove, minced
  6. 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  7. 2 medium beefsteak tomatoes, cut into wedges
  8. 1 tablespoon finely chopped basil
  9. Four 1-inch slices of peasant bread
  10. 1/4 cup black olive tapenade

Directions

1. Light a grill or preheat a large cast-iron grill pan. In a medium bowl, toss the lamb with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Alternate the lamb on four 12-inch skewers with pieces of red onion.
2. In another bowl, combine the garlic with the balsamic vinegar and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the tomatoes and basil, season with salt and pepper and toss well.
3. Brush the bread on both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Grill, turning once, until toasted, about 2 minutes per side. Spread about 2 teaspoons of the tapenade on each toast. Grill the lamb until browned all over, 7 to 8 minutes for medium rare meat. Spread the remaining tapenade on the lamb.
4. Spoon the tomato salad onto large plates. Add a lamb skewer and a tapenade toast to each and serve.
