Background

A simple lamb roast is delicious, but this Stuffed Shoulder of Lamb adds a new dimension to this less popular cut - the fruit flavoured couscous gives it an interesting middle-eastern subtlety. This recipe uses a smaller joint for 2 or 3 people that is frequently available in supermarkets but it also works well with much larger ones for a splendid Sunday lunch.

Ingredients

500g boneless shoulder of lamb
Salt and fresh ground pepper
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp olive oil
Stuffing:
25g couscous
40 ml vegetable stock
zest and juice of ½ unwaxed orange
10g pine nuts
10g hazelnuts
20g dried apricots
small bunch fresh mint

Instructions

First mix the hot stock with the couscous in a bowl, then stir in the orange juice & zest. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Finely chop and mix together the nuts, apricots & mint - it's best done in a food-processor.
When the couscous has absorbed all the liquid, add the chopped ingredients and stir well to create the stuffing.
Open up the lamb joint and season all over with the salt, pepper & cinnamon.
Spread the stuffing inside then close up again, securing with string.
Put into a roasting tin. Drizzle over the oil and cover loosely.
Cook for an hour - plus or minus 5 minutes for pink or well-done.
