INSTRUCTIONS
Note: See the Cilantro, Pine Nuts And Walnut Pesto and Emerils Essence Information recipes which are included in this collection. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In preparing the lamb, trim any fat from the meat. Remove the pelvic bone which is made up of the hip bone and aitch bone. It runs at an angle to the leg bone and is attached by a ball and socket joint. To loosen it, place the leg on a board, pelvic bone upward. With a sharp knife outline the edges of the bone that are exposed at the sirloin end. Cut deeper around the pelvic bone, freeing it at the joint and cutting through the tendons connecting it to the leg bone. Remove the bone. Grasp the shank bone at the tip of the leg and cut all tendons at the base of the bone. Cut the meat away from the bone, keeping the meat on the outer side in one piece. When the bone is clean, locate the knee joint at the point where the shank bone is connected to the leg bone. Cut the tendons at the joint and remove the shank bone. The last bone to remove is the leg bone. Remove by "tunnel fashion." Cut and scrape to clean the bone, easing it out as you work. Twist the bone and pull it out. Scrape the tendons one by one from the meat. Butterfly the meat. For the Chili Rub: Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl to form a rub. The mixture should be moist but not wet. To Assemble Lamb: Spread a thick layer of the Cilantro, Pine Nuts And Walnut Pesto on the meat. Roll the roast and tie with butchers twine. Coat the entire outside of the lamb with the chili rub. Place on a roasting pan with a rack to catch any drippings and for basting. Roast for 1 hour, or until the entire temperature reaches 150 degrees, reserving the meat juices. Place entire roast on a platter, carving a couple of slices to show the stuffing and spoon the meat juices over the top. This recipe yields 15 servings.
