2 LAMB LEG CENTER STEAKS (ABOUT 12 OZ EACH)

2 TSP OLIVE OIL

1 BOX (5.6 OZ) TOASTED PINE NUT COUSCOUS

1 JAR (2 OZ) SLICED PIMIENTOS

2 TBSP CHOPPED FRESH MINT OR PARSLEY

1 BAG (10 OZ) FRESH SPINACH

¼ CUP SLICED SCALLIONS

Put dressing in a shallow dish, add lamb steaks and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature 5 minutes.

While lamb marinates, bring 1¼ cups water, the oil and spice packet from couscous mix to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat, add couscous, cover and let stand 5 minutes or until water is absorbed.

Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add lamb, increase heat to medium-high and cook 5 minutes, turning steaks once, until browned and slightly pink at center. Remove to a cutting board.

Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in pimientos and chopped mint. Cover until serving.

Add spinach to skillet (in batches if necessary); toss over high heat 2 minutes or until wilted and tender.

Slice lamb and sprinkle with scallions. Serve with the couscous and spinach.
