1. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 15 mins or until tender. Meanwhile, heat the grill or a griddle pan. When the potatoes are almost ready, season the lamb steaks, rub with a little oil, then griddle or grill for 3-4 mins on each side until they are cooked to your liking, adding the tomatoes halfway through until juicy and bursting.
2. When the potatoes are ready, drain well, then return to the pan and gently crush with a fork or potato masher. Stir through the houmous, olives and parsley, then season well. Serve the crushed potatoes with the lamb and the tomatoes.

Make it as a salad

LAMB, CHICKPEA & POTATO SALAD: Cook 300g new potatoes as above, then drain and cool. Mix with the houmous, olives and parsley plus 100ml natural yogurt, a 410g can drained chickpeas, 2 sliced spring onions and some seasoning. Serve with lamb steaks or grilled lamb koftas.

  Gorgeous recipe, the vine tomatoes were the perfect finishing touch! The mash was a little dry for my taste so I might try adding a hint of milk or just more houmous next time.

  I made the salad but replaced the olives with red peppers to add a little crunch and colour. Really good...will definitely make again.

  Oh my! These potatoes are just fantastic. Dish was delicious though I confess I made a red wine and mint jus to go with the lamb, simply because I'm not generally into meat without a little sauce, even if its just a well aged balsamic on my steak! Just a touch of sauce but both my partner and I agreed that the dish benefitted from it. Will definitely be making this one again. These potatoes would make an excellent side dish for the greek roast lamb - probably tomorrows sunday lunch!
