Servings: persons

5 to 6 lb. leg of lamb, boned
3/4 c. fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 c. melted butter
1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1/4 tsp. marjoram
1/4 tsp. thyme
pinch of nutmeg
1 Tbsp. capers
3 to 5 anchovies
salt and pepper
1/2 c. white wine
4 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
8 grilled link sausages
watercress and toast points for garnish

1
Dry leg of lamb and spread out, fat side down on a flat surface.
2
Combine breadcrumbs, melted butter, lemon rind, herbs, nutmeg, capers and 2 or 3 anchovies; toss until well blended. Spread stuffing over lamb, roll up and tie securely with string. Place lamb in a shallow roasting pan, pour wine over it, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast in a 400u00b0 oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325u00b0 and roast from 1 1/2 to 2 hours (depending on whether you prefer lamb slightly pink or well done), basting every 20 minutes with juices that collect in the pan.
3
When lamb is cooked to taste, remove to a heated platter and let stand for 20 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, skim as much fat as possible from pan juices. Place pan over moderate heat and stir to smooth out juices; add water or more wine if more sauce is needed.
5
Add 1 or 2 chopped anchovies, stir and taste to see if salt or pepper is needed. Garnish the lamb with watercress, toast points, eggs and sausages. Serve sauce in a small heated bowl.
