method
1. Spread out the lamb and season well with salt and pepper.
2. To make the stuffing: mix together the rice, onion, fruit, peanuts, rosemary and salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Bind well with the egg, then spread the stuffing over the lamb.
3. Carefully roll up the lamb and secure with string.
4. Weigh the lamb and calculate the cooking time, allowing 25 minutes per 450 g (1 lb) plus an extra 25 minutes. Place the joint in a roasting tin and brush the outside with oil. Roast in a moderately hot oven for the calculated time.
5. Remove the string, slice and serve the lamb with gravy, baked potatoes and tomato halves filled with peas.
Microwave Tip
Neatly shaped joints cook well in a microwave. For a 1.75 kg (4lb) joint, cook for 30 minutes on full power, turning 3 times. Transfer to a conventional oven and cook for a further 30 minutes.
