Ingredients

  • 2 kg lamb loin (1 lamb loin)
  • 50 g clarified butter
  • Salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 200 g rye bread
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 1 sprig marjoram
  • 1 sprig thyme
  • 0.5 bunch Parsley
  • 100 g mild sheep cheese
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 egg
  • mustard
  • freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Preheat the oven to 250°C. Separate the fillets from the underside of the lamb loin and set aside. Score a diamond pattern on the fat layer on top of the loin, lightly indent along the spine. Rub the lamb loin all over with salt and pepper, place it on a rack over a roasting pan.

  2. 2.

    Heat the clarified butter in a skillet until very hot and pour it over the lamb loin. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the fat is crisp brown. Meanwhile crumble the rye bread. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Wash, dry, and chop the herbs.

  3. 3.

    Cut the sheep cheese into small cubes. Beat the egg with the yolks and stir in 1 tsp mustard. Mix in the breadcrumbs, cheese, and herbs, seasoning well with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

  4. 4.

    Spread the mixture over the roast with a spoon. Reduce the heat to 200°C and roast for another 30-40 minutes. Add the lamb fillets during the last 10 minutes of roasting. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
