The mustard dressing is used both to marinate the lamb and to coat the salad. And don't let the anchovies in the dressing scare you off. They add depth of flavor, but not a fishy taste.

Grilled Lamb, Potato, Bean and Mushroom Salad

3/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
3 (2-ounce) cans anchovies, drained, oil reserved, anchovies chopped
1 1/3 cups oil
1 1/2 cups (packed)chopped fresh basil
1 cup chopped shallots
1 (5 1/2-pound) leg of lamb, fat trimmed, boned, and butterflied (about 3 1/2 pounds boned)
3 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 pounds yellow wax beans, trimmed
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
Spinach leaves
Fresh basil sprigs
  1. Mix mustard and lemon juice in medium bowl. Mix in anchovy oil. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Add anchovies, chopped basil, and shallots. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Open lamb in large glass baking dish. Pour 1 1/3 cups dressing over, turning to coat both sides. Cover lamb and remaining dressing separately and chill at least 6 hours or overnight. Bring dressing to room temperature before using.
  2. Cook potatoes in large pot of salted water just until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well. Transfer to large bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups reserved dressing to warm potatoes and toss gently to coat. Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain. Rinse with cold water, drain well. Add beans and mushrooms to potatoes. Mix in 1/2 cup reserved dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Prepare barbeque (medium-high heat). Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Place lamb on grill and cook until thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 135°F (approximately 55°C), brushing with remaining marinade from baking dish , about 12 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  4. Transfer to platter and let stand at least 15 minutes.
  5. To Serve: Line large platter with spinach leaves. Mound potato salad in center. Cut lamb across grain in diagonal slices. Arrange sliced lamb around edges of platter. Drizzle lamb with remaining reserved dressing. Garnish salad with fresh basil sprigs and serve.

Makes 10 to 12 servings.
