Ingredients
4lbboneless leg of lamb
Filling
1cupchopped Portobella mushrooms
1cuppine-nutschopped
2cupsfresh spinach leaveswashed and chopped
3ozfontina cheesegrated
1/4cupvegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Slice off the narrower end of the leg of lamb. Butterfly the roast by putting your non-dominant hand on top to hold it in place. Slice the roast to a 1-inch thickness, rolling it toward you as you go until you've sliced it into one flat piece.
Drizzle oil on both sides of the meat and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Using a food processor, chop the mushrooms, cheese, spinach, and pine nuts. Add enough oil to just bind the ingredients together.
Spoon the filling onto the flat piece of lamb. Leave a gap to the edge. Roll the meat tightly, but not so tightly that you lose the filling. Tie the roll together with cooking string.
Put the rolled lamb roulade on a rack set in a roasting pan seam side down. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 130°F. Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest for 15 to 30 minutes. You don't have to cover it.
