Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a food processor, combine the fresh mint leaves, parsley, and garlic cloves. Pulse a few times until the herbs are finely chopped but not pureed.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and olive oil to the herb mixture. Pulse again to combine. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the prepared herb mixture. Stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated and fragrant.
Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, a little at a time, mixing well after each addition. The stuffing should be moist but not soggy.
Season the stuffing with salt and ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly and lightly press it down with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.
Serve warm alongside roast lamb for a perfect pairing. Enjoy!
