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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Toss bread cubes with cheese, mint and chili sauce until well combined.

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 was my first time making a leg of lamb and it turned out great! The mozzarella added a nice richness to the dish and the lamb was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
