Stuffed lamb roast
Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 butterflied lamb shoulder mini-roasts (bone removed)
handful of baby spinach leaves
1 large cup of fresh breadcrumbs (any type of day-old bread)
1 tbsp lemon zest
2-3 tbsps chopped fresh herbs (your choice)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp cooking oil (for roasting the lamb)
Method:
Preheat the oven to between 170°C and 180°C, depending on your oven.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the fresh breadcrumbs, lemon zest and fresh herbs. Mix together thoroughly. Now drizzle in the olive oil. Stir the breadcrumb mixture until it binds together loosely.
Lay the butterflied lamb out on a clean work surface and place the baby spinach leaves, in a single layer, over the lamb. Spoon the herby stuffing over the spinach leaves in an even layer.
Roll the lamb up tightly ready for tying with kitchen string (or meat netting or metal skewers) into a parcel.
Pour the cooking oil into a roasting pan and place the stuffed rolled lamb roast into the pan. Place the roast and pan into the preheated oven and roast for about 30 minutes (or until done to your preference).
Remove the lamb from the oven and allow to rest for about five minutes or so. Remove the string (or net or skewers) from the roast and carve into two and serve with a side of golden roast potatoes.
Note: You can vary the stuffing ingredients for different flavours. Herbs such as mint, rosemary, thyme, oregano or chives can be chosen. Also, you could substitute orange zest for lemon zest (orange zest is particularly delicious as a partner to finely shredded dried apricots in the stuffing). If you are going to use oregano in your stuffing, then try adding some finely shredded semi sun-dried tomatoes.
