Grilled Bread with Tuscan-Style Lamb
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Ask your butcher to cut the leg of lamb into thin slices, or scaloppine (the Italian name for very thin slices of veal). Also, try the lamb over couscous or inside a warm pita.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 2 slices lamb, 4 slices bread, and 2 tablespoons peppers)
