This easy yet stunning dish is ready in 20 minutes and screams SPECIAL OCCASION. The striking contrast of colors in the tomato mixture only hint at the perfectly paired contrast of the tangy balsamic tomatoes and the rich lamb. Finish the meal with some mashed cauliflower and roasted asparagus. Boil 1 head of cauliflower broken into florets and 2 cloves of garlic in a water until very tender. Drain and mash with 1/4 cup of milk, salt and pepper. Try this piquant tomato blend over salmon fillets or grilled chicken breasts.
