📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about ⏱️ 8 minutes. Add the spinach and garlic, and sauté until the spinach is wilted, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pine nuts and raisins.
2
Sprinkle the lamb with 1/2 tablespoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, then flip the meat and repeat. Sprinkle one side with paprika and coriander, then evenly spread the spinach mixture on that side. Roll the lamb up from one long side then tie it with kitchen twine every 2 inches.
3
Transfer the lamb to a roasting pan and roast until an instant-read thermometer reaches 140°F when inserted into the center (lamb will be medium-rare), about ⏱️ 1 hour. Remove the lamb from the oven and let it rest ⏱️ 10 minutes before removing the twine and slicing.
