Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Boneless leg of lamb
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 0.33 cup Pine nuts, toasted
- 0.33 cup Dried currants
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay the boneless leg of lamb flat on a clean surface, with the inside of the meat facing up.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped mint, toasted pine nuts, dried currants, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the inside of the lamb.
Carefully roll the lamb back up into its original shape, ensuring the stuffing is secured inside.
Use kitchen twine to tie the lamb at several intervals to hold its shape tightly.
Place the lamb on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing into thick rounds.
Serve warm and enjoy!
