Directions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine first 6 ingredients and mix well. Cut the spinach leaves from their stems, and slice thin. Plunge spinach into rapidly boiling water for 2 seconds, and then into ice water immediately afterwards to cool quickly. Butterfly the lamb leg and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire inside portion. Top the cheese with the spinach. Roll the leg up and tie with butcher's twine. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the outside of the roast. In a medium sized skillet brown the roast in 2 tablespoons hot oil on all sides. Place uncovered on a sheet tray and roast in a 350 degree oven for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the roast over and continue roasting an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Using a meat thermometer, check the temperature. For rare lamb, the internal temperature should reach 135 degrees. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately.
