Cooking lamb is a favourite with many Kiwi families at Christmas time. This recipe has been tried and tested and believe us, it's perfect for the festive season. The lamb is meltingly tender and the herb stuffing adds bursts of flavour not to mention beautiful colour to the dish. But the best part? It's quick, which means more time to spend with family and friends.
