If you’re wondering what, exactly, this lamb is stuffed with, let us answer that right off the bat: It’s a mixture of whole-grain mustard and baby spinach. The gremolata is composed of panko breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon zest, and kosher salt, to name a few.

Altogether, it adds a delicious citrusy and heat-filled crunch to the lamb. Now, De Laurentiis recommends using Il Sole Extra Virgin Olive Oil for the lamb, along with some sumptuous Kazzen Red Peppers Flakes.

And honestly: This recipe seems so worth the effort. We have a feeling your family will fall in love with this spring lamb as soon as they get a taste of the tender, flavorful meat.
