Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups small dried bread cubes or plain croutons
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 teaspoons finely chopped mint leaves
½ cup Heinz® Chili Sauce
1 (3 pound) boneless, butterflied leg of lamb, trimmed
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Toss bread cubes with cheese, mint and chili sauce until well combined.
  • Lay meat fat side down and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Spread evenly with bread mixture, leaving a 1-in (2.5-cm) border at one end. Starting at the narrow end, roll up meat jellyroll style.
  • Tie rolled roast together with kitchen string. Transfer to a rack set in a roasting pan and roast, basting occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted in centre of meat registers 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for rare or 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) for medium doneness. Rest roast for 10 minutes. Slice thickly. Makes 8 servings.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll use less mozzarella next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up overcooking the lamb and the mozzarella didn't melt properly. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I followed the recipe exactly and the lamb was tough and dry. The mozzarella didn't melt evenly either. Not sure what went wrong.
