Herbes de Provence Leg of Lamb
The simple stuffing in this recipe combines shallots and garlic with a mixture of herbs that you can vary according to what is in your garden or fresh at the market, such as thyme, oregano, tarragon or marjoram. You can ask the butcher to butterfly the boned lamb for you and pound it to an even thickness.
