    Ingredients

    • olive oil as needed
    • 1 cup garlic, minced
    • 2 lbs black olives, drain, chop
    • 1 lb feta cheese, crumble
    • 2 lbs sundried tomatoes, soak for 20 minutes and chop
    • 30 lbs boneless leg of lamb
    • 1 qt fresh rosemary, rough chop
    • 2 qts Spanish onions, peel, chop
    • 1 1/2 gal red wine
    • 1 1/2 gal beef broth
    • 3 1/2 lbs each water and flour, in slurry to thicken sauce

    Directions

    1. Pat the lamb dry, arrange it, boned side up, on a work surface, and season it with salt and pepper. Rub with 2 tablespoons of oil.
    2. Spread the lamb evenly with olive-cheese-tomato mixture, leaving a 1-inch border around the degrees.
    3. Beginning with a short side, roll it up jellyroll fashion, and tie tightly with a kitchen string. The rolled and tied roast may look ungainly, but it will improve in appearance when cooked.
    4. Transfer the lamb to a roasting pan and rub it all over with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste.
    5. Roast the lamb in the middle of a preheated 325 degree oven for 30 minutes, scatter the onion around it in the pan, and roast the lamb for 1 to 1/4 hours more (a total of 20 minutes per pound of boneless meat), or until a meat thermometer register 140 degrees for medium rare.
    6. Transfer the lamb to a cutting board and let stand for 20 minutes.
    7. While the lamb is standing, skim the fat from the pan drippings and set the roasting pan over moderately high heat. Add the wine, deglaze the pan, scraping up the brown bits, and boil the mixture until it is reduced by half. Strain the mixture throug ha fine sieve into a saucepan; add the broth, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, the water, and any juices on the cutting board. Boil the mixture until it is reduced to about 2 cups. Mix the flour and water to create a slurry. Stir in the slurry, add it to the wine mixture, whisking, and simmer the sauce for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
