Greek lamb stuffed with spinach and feta

"Recipe by my mum, Marie Ford"– Sarah Ford.

This is a delicious roast - taking the time to stuff a rolled lamb, beef or pork turns it all up a notch - the stuffing helps to keep the centre moist, and when you marry the fillings well, like spinach with feta, each bite is a perfect combination. Delicious!

Serves 4 – 6.
