Method
- Preheat the oven to 170oC/325oC/gas mark 3. Heat the oil in a fry pan, add the onion and garlic and soften. Tip in the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, then add the spinach to wilt. Leave to cool, then mix in the cheddar, egg and seasoning.
- Lie the lamb skin side down on a large sheet of kitchen foil, spread evenly with stuffing, then tightly roll up the breast and wrap in the foil, twisting each end to seal. Place the bones and the lamb in a roasting tin and roast for 11/2 hours, then remove the bones.
- Place the bones in a shallow saucepan and just cover with water. Cover, bring to a boil and then simmer for 35 minutes. Strain. Meanwhile, roast the meat for a further 30 minutes. When cooked, remove from the oven and discard the foil, but keep the cooking juices.
- Add the flour to the roasting tin and mix well, place over a medium-high heat and slowly pour in the roasted bone stock, mixing until smooth. Add the Redcurrant jelly and wine, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Carve the lamb and serve with the sauce.
