1 piece fresh nutmeg

2 tbsp paprika

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 cup minced garlic

1/2 cup minced shallots

1 tbsp dried mustard

1 tbsp dried marjoram

1 tbsp dried oregano

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp kosher salt

1 tbsp pepper

To Assemble

4 boned lamb saddles

4 lamb sausage

3 parsnips, cut in large dice

1 bunch fresh thyme

1 bunch fresh tarragon

Directions

*Note: If making your own sausage it not an option, simply use ground lamb instead of the cubed lamb meat and mix the ground lamb with the spices. Skip the 2 to 3 day marinating process.

*Marinate time: 2 to 3 days (if making own sausage)
*Cook time: 6 to 7 hours plus 8 hours for simmering stock
