Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the lamb, preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine anchovies, capers, bread crumbs, garlic, pepper sauce, parsley, rosemary, salt, pepper and olive oil. Rub the mixture all over the lamb. Bake, using recipe for Basic Crown Roast of Lamb (see recipe).

  2. Step 2

    To make the stuffing, cook couscous according to directions on package; do not use butter or salt. Place carrots in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 8 minutes. Add peas. Cook until carrots and peas are tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Toss couscous with carrots, peas, olives, salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the roast from the oven. Turn roast over, place on a platter and fill the cavity with the stuffing. Place into a serving dish any stuffing that doesn't fit. Serve immediately.
