This incredibly delicious recipe for tender roast leg of lamb has a flavourful smoked paprika and garlic rub on the outside and a fragrant summer savory and onion stuffing inside. What an amazing idea for Easter dinner.

Smoked Paprika Lamb with Summer Savory Stuffing
I have to admit that when I was asked by McCormick brand to create a new roast lamb recipe for this Easter post, I was very pleased indeed. I absolutely love roast lamb and I’ve been successful in getting the rest of the family on board to enjoy one of my favourite meals more often and in several different ways.
When I immediately thought about stuffing this boneless lamb leg, my mind went in two herb and spice flavour directions. Smoked Paprika is a much loved spice here on Rock Recipes as a quick search of our recipes will reveal.

Boneless leg of lamb.
I absolutely love the subtle smoky flavour that works so well with chicken, beef or pork, so I thought, “Why not lamb?”. When I discovered that the McCormick Gourmet line included summer savory leaves, I knew I had to use it.

Adding flavour.
Summer Savory is a much underused dried herb that is very popular here in Newfoundland in our traditional stuffing for poultry. It is a mild, fragrant herb with a beautiful subtle flavour that goes well with chicken, pork and even fish.
I’ve even used a little of it in a version of Hollandaise sauce for my Eggs Benedict which everyone absolutely loves.
As happens lots of times when I come up with two choices for a new recipe, I decide not to decide and use both.

In this terrific recipe the summer savory gets used in a slightly modified version of our traditional Newfoundland savory and onion “dressing” (stuffing). The smoked paprika goes into a simple dry rub for the outside of the lamb to infuse flavour as it open roasts.
The result was wonderfully delicious and would make an outstanding addition to your Easter dinner table where so many folks traditionally serve lamb.
