Lamb With White Bean Salad

Submitted by Kiwi Kathy

"Quick, easy and delicious meal. Minimum fuss cooking at it's best. I found this recipe in the February 09 edition of "Recipes+". I didn't have chives on hand so used 1/2 red onion finely chopped instead. I also used loin chops and think the lamb leg steaks would work well too. I served it with a small helping of couscous."
