Looking for something special this Easter? Try our Rosemary & Pine Nut Stuffed Leg of Roast Lamb.
Roast lamb is a traditional choice for Easter – and all year round as far as we’re concerned. It crops up regularly on our party and wedding menus where customers are looking for a hearty crowdpleaser to soak up any excess alcohol. We love putting a twist on the classics, and this roast lamb recipe is one of our new favourites. The herby stuffing complements the richness of the lamb perfectly. We’ve served ours with boulangere potatoes, but it’s delicious with roasties and veg as well.
If you don’t fancy attempting to bone your own leg of lamb, your butcher should be happy to do it for you – we leave it to the professionals!
Here’s how we make our stuffed roast lamb – enjoy!
