( SERVES 4 )
Publication: NZ Woman's Weekly
Ingredients
| ⅓ cup | Tomato pesto |
| ⅓ cup | Ground almonds |
| 2 Tbsp | Fresh oregano |
| 1 to taste | Salt & freshly ground pepper |
| 700 g | Lamb roast |
| 2 | Garlic |
Directions
- Heat oven to 200°C. To make the stuffing, place sun dried pesto, ground almonds and chopped fresh oregano in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix to combine.
- Trim any fat or sinew from the lamb (Use 2x 350g roasts). Season on both sides with salt and pepper and lay out flat on a board, skin-side down. Spread stuffing over the lamb pieces and roll them up to contain filling. Tie pieces with string to secure them into two parcels.
- Heat an ovenproof pan, add 2 table- spoons oil and sear lamb parcels for 5 minutes, turning to brown all over. Add 2 heads of garlic, cut in half to the pan and place in the oven to roast for 25 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your liking towards pink meat.
- Remove to rest for 10 minutes before slicing the lamb and serving with the juices from the pan.
