Ingredients

2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
7 tablespoons, plus 1 teaspoon, olive oil
1 cup drained, canned artichoke hearts, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 cup very thinly sliced raw artichoke hearts
1 cup cooked fava beans
1 large tomato, cored, seeded and cut into small dice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons, plus 1 teaspoon, red-wine vinegar
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, stemmed and minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 rack of lamb, bones scraped of all fat

Steps:

For the salad, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Roast until tender, tossing from time to time, about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, for the lamb, combine the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the lamb and let stand for 30 minutes.
Heat 1 teaspoon of the salad's olive oil in a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the canned artichoke hearts and saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the roasted potatoes, sauteed and raw artichoke hearts, fava beans and tomato in a large bowl and toss to combine. Season with 1 teaspoon of the salad's salt and pepper to taste.
For the lamb, increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast until medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile for the salad, whisk together the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in the remaining 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Add to the salad and toss to coat.
Carve the lamb. Divide the salad among 4 plates and top each serving with 2 lamb chops. Serve immediately.
