I like the filet version when my pockets are full like Diamond Jim's. adapted from the Vincent Price cookbook http://www.grouprecipes.com/24513/carpetbaggers.html This is what I cook when I want to pull out all the stops, big time anniversary celebration or one of those birthdays that end in an -0!!! (don't remind me) Not hard to do if you are friends with a good butcher. The stuffing makes it special. I like this served with roasted new potatoes, dressed in olive oil and sea salt. A spinach salad dressed with toasted pine nuts, crumbled feta, and a sherry vinegar dressing cuts the richness of the meat. Grilled shrimp with faux Joe's special sauce would be my appetizer. Dessert would probably a cold tangerine mold, with Grand Marnier glaze and chocolate truffles. Yep, that's my dream birthday menu. Too bad, I 'd have to cook it. http://www.grouprecipes.com/19491/roasted-red-pepper-and-pesto-stuffed-leg-of-lamb.html This is the most expensive meal I ever made. I made it for my mom and dad's 35th wedding anniversary. It is beyond words!!! A once in a lifetime meal for sure. http://www.grouprecipes.com/14927/most-expensive-recipe-i-ever-made.html
