SPINACH - STUFFED LEG OF LAMB 
Leg of lamb is the traditional main course for celebrations and Sunday dinners in Greek homes. For an extra timesaving step, the leg of lamb can be stuffed, rolled and tied the evening before the dinner, covered lightly with waxed paper and refrigerated. This version also includes oven-roasted potatoes, baked with the lamb and basted with the accumulated drippings. 10 servings.
