Steps

  • Fry sliced onions in oil for 3 minutes before adding salt, pepper pouch, and apricots.
  • Simmer the mixture with lemon zest, juice, and lamb stock for one hour until thick.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Skin the lamb and remove the loin from the bone while keeping the fat attached.
  • Flatten the lamb skin with a meat baton.
  • Wilt spinach in a pan using a garlic-studded fork and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Fry chopped kidney for one minute and mix with red pepper, olives, and wilted spinach.
  • Spread the stuffing onto the lamb skin and fold it over the meat.
  • Wrap the meat in crepinette and secure with kitchen string.
  • Brown the lamb in an oven-proof pan, add onion halves, and roast for 15 minutes.
  • Rest meat for 10 minutes, slice, and serve over compote with onion petals and fresh spinach.
