Boneless Lamb Roast with Goat's Cheese and Red Peppers
Lamb can be enjoyed year round, but a boneless roast screams a spring time celebration. This recipe I learned from George Brown Culinary, is pretty easy to prepare. Boneless lamb is butterflied and stuffed with a mixture of onions, garlic, rosemary, parsley, thyme, goat's cheese and red pepper, slathered in mustard and cooked in a hot oven with a mirepoix of veggies like carrots, celery onions.
