Stuffed Leg of Lamb: Arni Yemisto

The holidays are much more than just the Christmas Day or New Year's Day meal. Holidays usually mean parties, guests, visiting family, and just friendly gatherings. This recipe for Stuffed Leg of Lamb is a wonderful and decorative dish for a holiday meal, and a nice change from the more usual (and delicious, of course) lamb with garlic and herbs.

Start with a butterflied leg of lamb, give it a tasty wine and herb rub, add layers of cheeses and peppers, roll it up, tie it, and cook. Don't think the long cooking time is a mistake - it isn't! The taste is fabulous and it's exceptionally pretty, too!
