Directions
Kharoof Mahshi is one of the best roast lamb dishes I have ever made. It is supposed to be a whole lamb or kid stuffed with rice and nuts, but that would obviously be too much food and it would not fit in our oven, so instead we bought a butterfly of lamb and stuffed that. The stuffing and the rub are quick to make then you simply bung it in the oven and let the aromas fill the house.
The kids said it smelt delicious although only one of them ate the stuffing. I’ll admit it doesn’t look particularly pretty, it is hard to make it look apetitizing in a photo, but once you taste it I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a keeper, we have put it on the list.
