Ingredients
 

  • 3 lb leg of lamb boned
  • 9 oz sausagemeat
  • 4 oz shelled walnuts finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • fresh parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
  • Put the sausagemeat in a bowl together with the walnuts, parsley, nutmeg and half the rosemary. Season to taste and mix well.
  • Pack the stuffing into the boned cavity of the lamb, then secure with a trussing needle and fine string or meat skewers.
  • Place the lamb, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting tin and sprinkle with the remaining rosemary and salt and pepper to taste. Cover with foil. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, then lower the heat to 170C/325F/Gas 3 and roast for a further 1 1/2 hours. Remove the foil for the final 30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a serving platter, remove the string or skewers and serve, carved into slices and garnished with parsley.
