This recipe leans on just a handful of fresh, punchy ingredients that do a lot with a little. For the lamb, you’ll need onion, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, spinach, feta cheese, a boned saddle of lamb (lamb sirloin, lamb loin or a boneless leg of lamb will also work), sumac, sea salt and black pepper. To make the dressing, grab a cucumber, as well as some yogurt, mint, pomegranate molasses, lemon zest and a lime. You're also going to need a sauté pan and a roasting pan, plus some butcher's twine for tying up the lamb.
How to Make Gordon Ramsay’s Easter Lamb
You can find the full recipe on Ramsay's website, but it's worth watching the video and taking some notes (as we did). Here's the general process of putting this showstopping dish together. Start by sautéing the onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil until soft and fragrant. Add the pine nuts in and make sure they get a bit toasty, then add in your fresh spinach. Ramsay is very clear here: sautéing the spinach instead of steaming it gives it way more flavor, and he’s absolutely right. When the spinach is wilted (this will happen quickly), add in the feta, which adds a salty, creamy sharpness and really pulls the stuffing together.
Ramsay does a clever envelope fold before tying the meat at the sides and in the center with butcher’s twine. Then, here’s a key step: the lamb goes in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or overnight if you’re ahead of the game). This step helps the roast brown better and will help it stay neat in the oven. Don't skip this step!
While the lamb is resting, it’s time to make the sauce. To make it, mix together yogurt, shredded mint, cucumber (make sure to deseed it—no one wants watery dressing), pomegranate molasses, lemon zest and a squeeze of lime. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. The creamy, cool, tangy and just-sweet-enough sauce is a delicious contrast to the rich lamb.
This Easter lamb proves that bold, beautiful and made-to-impress doesn’t need to include a thousand steps—just a bit of searing, a sprinkle of seasonings and Gordon Ramsay’s signature flair. So serve it up, take a bow and let the lamb do all the talking.
