Ingredients


Ingredients

  • 1 leg of lamb, deboned
  • 60 ml olive oil


Mint Stuffing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 brown onions, thinly sliced
  • 80 g mint leaves (about 1 bunch)
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 50 g hemp seeds
  • ¼ cup finely grated parmesan
  • 100 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 70 g (1 cup) fresh breadcrumbs
Procedure
  1. For mint stuffing, heat olive oil in a small frying pan over low heat, add onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often over low heat until caramelised, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, place mint leaves, garlic and a pinch of sea salt in a mortar and, using a pestle, coarsely crush, add hemp seeds and parmesan and pound to a paste, stir through oil and season to taste. Combine pesto, breadcrumbs and caramelised onion.
  2. Place lamb skin-side down on a clean work surface and evenly spread stuffing over meat. Starting at the longest sides roll up, tucking in sides and secure with kitchen twine.
  3. Preheat oven to 200°C true fan. Place lamb into a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast lamb for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 160°C and roast for a further 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 62°C on a thermometer, for medium-rare. Allow lamb to rest for 10-15 minutes in a warm place before carving.
  4. To serve, remove twine and cut into 3cm thick slices. Serve drizzled with pan juices.
