How to Cook Roast Breast of Lamb with Leek and Chestnut Stuffing
- Wash and finely chop the leek, peel and finely chop the garlic, finely chop the chestnuts, chop the parsley and beat the egg. In a large bowl mix all the stuffing ingredients together. Place the breast of lamb on a chopping board and unroll it, skin side down. Trim off any excess fat then season on both sides with the salt, pepper and cardamom.
- Spread the stuffing mix evenly over the surface of the lamb and re-roll, securing with butcher's string or elasticated meat bands (available from your butcher's shop or meat counter).
- Weigh the joint with the stuffing. Place on a metal rack in a large non-stick roasting tin and open roast in a preheated moderate oven (Mk 4 - 350ºF - 180ºC) for 45 minutes for the preferred, calculated cooking time, basting with any rich meat juices. Remove from the oven when it reaches 5ºC (10ºF) below the desired doneness. The temperature will continue to rise as the meat stands.
- Serve the lamb with roast potatoes and herby baby carrots.

When shopping for chestnuts make sure you get them peeled and prepared either vacuum packed or in jars.
Reviews of Roast Breast of Lamb with Leek and Chestnut Stuffing
![]() This lamb is sooooo good! I got two roasts and served it for my whole extended family for a special birthday party. I simply served new potatoes and baby carrots and it was absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious. Everybody commented on it, including my 13-year-old daughter who's "going through growing up" at the moment, so doesn't normally even acknowledge there's food on the plate or people in the room!! A really simple and great recipe. Thanks for sharing. JanetNorfolk (1 review) |
