Toast the pine nuts for enhanced flavor. Ensure the skillet is hot before searing the lamb for optimal browning. Use a meat thermometer to achieve your desired level of doneness. Allowing the lamb to rest ensures a juicy and tender result.

StepPrepare the Lamb: Remove any netting or twine. Open the lamb on a cutting board, boned-side up. Trim excess fat and score the meat with 1/2-inch deep slits, 2 inches apart. (5 minutes)
02
StepPound the lamb: Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a mallet until 3/4-inch thick and 10-14 inches square. (10 minutes)
03
StepPreheat: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (2 minutes)
04
StepStuff the lamb: Season the lamb with salt and pepper. Spread spinach evenly, leaving 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with goat cheese and pine nuts. (8 minutes)
05
StepRoll and tie: Roll into a tight cylinder and tie with kitchen twine every 2 inches. (10 minutes)
06
StepDredge: Mix flour, salt, pepper, thyme, and fennel seeds in a dish. Press the roast into the mixture to coat. (5 minutes)
07
StepSear: Heat sesame oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear all sides of the roast until golden brown. (10 minutes)

Jul 11, 2024Make sure you have butcher's twine on hand. I ran out mid-roll and had to get creative with dental floss! It all worked out in the end, but it was a bit stressful!
