Recipe - Roast Stuffed Shoulder Of Lamb

4 pound Shoulder Of Lamb; Boned

STUFFING
One half ounce Butter
2 ounce Mushrooms; Chopped
3 ounce Soft White Bread Crumbs
Salt And Pepper
One half teaspoon Mixed Herbs
1 Egg To Bind Or; Beaten
3 One half ounce Prepared Stuffing Mix
Flour
Dried Rosemary; Optional
1 Clove Garlic; Optional
Salt And Pepper

Open out meat and place stuffing near centre. Roll up and tie firmly with
string at 1 " intervals. Place meat on rack in roasting tin. Dust with
flour (this helps crisp the fat) and sprinkle with rosemary. Place skinned,
crushed clove of garlic beneath the rack.

Cook in a very moderate oven (350 F, gas mark 3) for 45 minutes per pound
stuffed weight. When done, remove roast to a heated platter and keep it
warm while you make gravy in the roasting tin.

Pour of all but 1 tablespoonful fat. Stir in 1 tablespoon flour. Gradually
add about Three fourths pint hot stock (e. g. liquid in which vegetables have been
cooked) and boil up.

Adjust seasoning to taste, strain and serve. Usual accompaniments are mint
sauce or redcurrant jelly, roast or creamed potatoes, carrots, cauliflower
or peas.

NOTES : A large roast cooks better and is more economical than a small
roast. 4 pound will serve 4 hot portions one day and 4 cold the next. You can
omit the

seasoning of rosemary and garlic if you wish, but these do add subtle
flavour to

the meat and gravy and are in no way overpowering.
