Ingredients

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut six 2-foot lengths of butcher's twine. In a small skillet saute apple and shallots in butter 1 minute or until lightly browned. Transfer to a small bowl and mix well with goat cheese, pine nuts and mint; season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange lamb on work surface, inside facing up. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over lamb and pound with a meat mallet to flatten meat slightly, if needed, until leg is a fairly even thickness. Remove plastic wrap and generously season inside and outside of lamb. Mound stuffing mixture lengthwise along one side of lamb; roll up lamb over stuffing, tucking in ends. Space 5 pieces of twine under lamb roll and tie them firmly, starting at outside and working in. Tie roll lengthwise with remaining piece of twine.

In a roasting pan set over 2 burners, heat oil over high heat. Add lamb roll and sear all over, about 6 minutes in all. Transfer lamb to a rack and set down in the roasting pan. Roast until brown and tender and an instant read thermometer reads 140 degreees F for medium rare, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting occasionally. Remove from oven and let sit, covered loosely with foil, 10 minutes. To serve, discard strings, slice in 12 pieces and serve 2 slices per serving with roasted rosemary potatoes

    I made this last Easter for my husband and some friends. First of all I overcooked it a little - mostly due to a faulty meat thermometer, so yes it being dry was my fault. The taste just wasn't spectacular to me. I much prefer lamb grilled. But my husband enjoyed it, he adores goat's cheese and company seemed to enjoy it. Don't know that I'll be making it again though.

    I made this with feta,and I put 2 slices of white bread crumbled into the stuffing.I put fresh mint, rosemary into the processor and chopped it fine and covered the lamb before roasting.I also put he rosemary potatoes in the same pan and added a cup of white wine.The trick is not to overcook..it was amazing...
