Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C).
  2. Skin and bone the loin of lamb, trimming excess fat.
  3. Finely chop the onions and sweat them in 2 ounces of drippings or butter until soft but not browned.
  4. Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the onions and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the breadcrumbs, laverbread, and chopped parsley.
  6. Mix the stuffing ingredients to a smooth consistency, adding a little milk if necessary to bind, then season well with salt and pepper.
  7. Stuff the prepared lamb loin with the mixture, tie securely with kitchen string, and season the exterior.
  8. Seal the outside of the lamb with melted drippings and roast in the preheated oven at 430°F (221°C) for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the lamb from the oven, cool completely, and drain any excess juices.
  10. Reduce oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
  11. Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 5/16 inch thick.
  12. Spread any remaining stuffing mixture over the pastry, leaving a 2-inch margin around all edges.
  13. Place the cooled loin of lamb in the center of the pastry.
  14. Brush the margin of the pastry with beaten egg wash.
  15. Fold the pastry over the meat to completely envelope it, sealing the edges tightly.
  16. Turn the pastry roll over so the seams are underneath, and place on a greased baking sheet.
  17. Brush the top of the pastry with beaten egg wash and decorate as desired.
  18. Bake in the oven at 425°F (218°C) for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
  19. Garnish with fresh parsley and sliced tomatoes before serving.
