Remove stem and put in a bowl with the rest of the ingrediants. Mash with a fork to a rough consistency - do not use food processor or blender.

Step 4

Toss all white bean salad ingredients and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

To serve - slice lamb thinly against the grain serve with salad and baba ganoush and sprinkle chives.
