James's Stuffed Breasts
1 breast of lamb
1/4 pint dry white wine
Stuffing:
4 ounces bacon, chopped
1 packet of pine nuts
2 ounces bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 pound spinach, steamed briefly
Squeeze all liquid from spinach and chop. Fry the bacon quickly and add pine
nuts and stir for another 2 minutes. Stir all the stuffing ingredients together
in a bowl and season well. Open out the breast of lamb and lay the stuffing on
top of the meat, then roll and tie firmly with string using all available
fingers to help in tying the knots. Place in casserole and cover with wine and
put the lid on. Cook for 20 minutes at 450F then 250F for a further 2 hours.
Place lamb in warming oven, tip the fat from the juices and season. Serve with
creamy mashed potatoes and peas.
