VEGAN GIGOT OU ÉPAULE...Farce aux Olives

[Olive and Ground Lamb Stuffing]

...another variation of stuffing for the vegan Gigot...this one has ground vegan lamb, onions, bread crumbs and Greek black olives...
...I just ground up some of the vegan seitan for the ground lamb...
...added the minced onions and breadcrumbs...and some Kalamata olives...
...stuffed...tied up...and baked as usual...
...served with a salad and a side of spaghetti marinara...
...I love black olives so I thought this version was really good...
...and the spaghetti made a nice accompaniment...
