Now that the girlfriend and I have escaped the clutches of our respective families, we're planning our own 'Christmas'/NYE dinner. I quite fancy trying some sort of stuffed saddle/leg of lamb thing, but I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of different recipes kicking around. Specifically which cut to buy (saddle sounds quite large? Leg instead?), What stuffing flavourings etc. Going to serve with a nice red wine sauce/jus which I'm happy to spend the time on, and potato dauphinoise.

Any suggestions/links/tips? :)

Cheers!
 
Get two whole breasts of Lamb and get your butcher to bone them or do it your self. Lay one breast flat on your surface then the other slightly over lapping but rotated round so they sort of join to make a square or rectangle.

Like so^

flatten your stuffing to make the shape of the breasts so the whole breast surface is covered in a 5mm layer of stuffing goodness. Roll it and tie with string or bands for cooking.

Cover in foil bake in oven low temp for ages.

You can add whatever you want to the stuffing and you can also add more things before rolling it. It's up to you. About 20 mins before it's cooked brush some honey over it all and turn up the heat to get a nice glaze. Leave for 15 mins to rest, carve and you will have a nice well presented lamb swirl.

It's very tasty and extremely popular in Morrisons, not sure if the other supermarkets do it but we (did! as i don't work there anymore) always sell out every day when we made it.

EDIT: ok the diagram didn't post as intended. Basically lay them next to ech other to make a square, they are not the same width at either end. You will see once you see them ONLY if they are full breasts.
 
Saddle of lamb became my new favourite lamb cut after making this.

It's big, about 1.8kg after it's boned. You can roll it up the day before and leftovers are just as nice. I think it's from Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course.
 
Well we spent £23 odd on a lovely saddle of lamb. Now the girlfriend and I are totall rip-roaringly sick. Lol. Aiming to do a very simplified version of this recipe: http://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/roast-saddle-lamb-recipe

Well, basically stuff with spinach and black pudding, make an easy red wine jus and serve with dauphinoise potatoes. The one thing I'm not sure about is whether or not to fry up the black pudding first? He doesn't in that recipe but I can't imagine in would cook well in the lamb, especially as we're aiming for pink/medium rare. Thoughts?
