pepper. Spread stuffing over top; roll up lamb from left

kitchen twine at 1 1/2" intervals crosswise, then once
lengthwise. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed
baking sheet; drizzle with oil.

Roast until lamb is starting to brown, 30-40 minutes.

until blended. Season herbed cheese with salt and pepper.

Dress watercress in a large bowl with lemon juice and
remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper.
