• Add fava beans 10 min b4 end of cooking time. Remove garlic cloves + bay leaf, season w/salt & pepper to taste & stir in fresh parsley just b4 serving.
• NOTES: Lima beans may be subbed for fava beans. I used fava beans & did not peel their wrinkled skin before serving as the pic showed them unpeeled. Just to ck, I peeled a few & found I preferred them peeled for any future efforts. I worried a bit about the apparent shortage of liquid, but that was unfounded as there was plenty of the rich brown sauce.

GRILLED LAMB AND FETA BURGERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, feta, allspice, parsley, salt and pepper, making sure not to overwork the mixture. Form the lamb mixture into 4 to 6 patties.
• Heat a grill pan over moderately-high heat and cook the lamb burgers until a nice crust forms, about 4 minutes. Turn the burgers over and let cook another 4 minutes. Let the burgers rest 10 minutes. Serve topped with Easy Tzatziki on a roll or bun.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Chill.
• What Really Makes This Recipe Sing: Allspice is one of those secret weapons in savory foods. You can't put your finger on it, but you know it is there. It was named by the English, because they thought it contained cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Shh, it is also the secret ingredient in Cincinnati-style chili.
• What to toss in if you have it: Feel free to add some chopped fresh mint to this as well. Having a cocktail party? BYOC and makes these into mini's. Grab one before you serve because they will disappear fast.

GRILLED BABY ARTICHOKE, GIGANTE BEANS AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• First, marinate the cooked Gigante beans and artichokes in the vinaigrette for marinade. Do this while they are still warm from cooking so they absorb the marinade as they cool. It is best to prepare these the day before so they fully take on the flavor of the marinade.
• Toss the artichoke halves, roasted red pepper, basil leaves, feta cheese and Gigante beans together with 3/4-ounce of the vinaigrette. Season with a pinch of pepper, as the feta is already salty.
• Place on a chilled dinner plate, making sure all elements are exposed, in a croissant- shaped mound, leaving the void on the plate at the two 'o clock position.
• Dress the arugula with the remaining 1/4-ounce vinaigrette and place in a tight bundle in the void on the plate.
• Garnish the edge of the salad with basil oil.
• Toast sliced garlic in 2 tablespoons canola oil. Whisk together the toasted garlic and all other ingredients except the remaining oils. Slowly whisk the oil into the vinegar mixture to emulsify. Season with salt, pepper, sugar.

GRILLED LAMB CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY SALT

Steps:

• Mix together the oregano, garlic, lemon zest from 1 lemon, lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the lamb chops with kosher salt and pepper and add to the marinade, thoroughly coating. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, and up to 6 hours.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• In the meantime, mix the flaky sea salt, rosemary and remaining lemon zest. Work the mixture with your fingers, releasing the oils from the zest and rosemary. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place on the direct heat side of the grill. Char on both sides and cook to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 minutes. If the lamb chops become too charred, but the internal temperature is still low, move them to the indirect heat side of the grill to finish cooking.
• Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon rosemary salt before serving.
