Meanwhile, for the lamb, combine the garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the lamb and let stand for 30 minutes.

Heat 1 teaspoon of the salad's olive oil in a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the canned artichoke hearts and saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Place the roasted potatoes, sauteed and raw artichoke hearts, fava beans and tomato in a large bowl and toss to combine. Season with 1 teaspoon of the salad's salt and pepper to taste.

For the lamb, increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Place the lamb in a roasting pan and roast until medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes.
