STUFFED LAMB BREAST WITH LEMON, RICOTTA, AND OREGANO RECIPE

Steps:

• Finely grind oregano, fennel, and red pepper flakes in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Place lamb breasts on a work surface, fat side down, and season with salt. Sprinkle spice mixture over top, then rub garlic into meat, working over entire surface.
• Mix egg yolk, Pecorino, ricotta, olives, parsley, and lemon juice in a small bowl to combine and spread evenly over both lamb breasts. Working with 1 breast at a time and starting from a short end, roll up so lamb is resting seam side down. Starting at the center, tie each roll with kitchen twine at even intervals.
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Season lamb all over with salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add onion, carrot, shallots, and garlic to same pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are browned around edges, 8-10 minutes. Add wine, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add lemon, parsley sprigs, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, peppercorns, and 4 cups cold water. Add lamb back to pot and bring to a simmer; cover and transfer to oven. Cook, turning once, until lamb is tender but not quite falling apart, 2-2 1/2 hours. Transfer lamb to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Bring braising liquid to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until reduced by half, 15-20 minutes. Taste and season with more salt, if desired. Remove kitchen twine from lamb and slice 3/4-inch-thick. Transfer to a platter and strain braising liquid through a fine-mesh sieve over lamb. Top with parsley leaves.
• Lamb can be stuffed 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before cooking.

ROAST STUFFED BREAST OF LAMB

Steps:

• Heat the oven (350F/180C/Gas Mark 4-5). Make the stuffing as directed on the packet, adding lemon juice to the hot water before mixing the stuffing to give a tangy flavour.
• Spread the stuffing over the lamb, and roll it up carefully, not too tightly. Tie it up in 2 or 3 places with the string, or secure in a roll with cocktail sticks. Lightly rub the outside of the meat with the oil, and either wrap the meat in the foil and place it in a roasting tin, or put the meat in a greased roasting tin and cover the tin with the foil.
• Cook in the oven to 1 1/2 to 2 hours, according to the size of the joint (a bigger joint will take longer) unwrapping or removing the foil for last half hour of the cooking time to brown the meat.
