Delicious Stuffed Leg Of Lamb Recipe for a Mediterranean Feast

Ingredients

Servings:
18
  • 1 leg lamb (Boneless, butterflied)
  • 2 cups spinach (Fresh, chopped)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (Crumbled)
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (Chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (Minced)
  • 1 tablespoon oregano (Dried)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (For drizzling)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Lamb

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay the butterflied lamb on a clean surface.

    Ensure the lamb is at room temperature before preparation.
  2. Make the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine chopped spinach, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and oregano.

    Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Stuff the Lamb

    Spread the filling evenly over the lamb, leaving a small border around the edges.

    Tightly roll the lamb and secure with kitchen twine.
  4. Season and Drizzle

    Rub the outside of the lamb with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.

    This enhances the flavor and helps to create a nice crust.
  5. Roast the Lamb

    Place the stuffed lamb in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

    Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
