Ingredients:
For the Roulade:
2 pounds boneless lamb leg, butterflied
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Kitchen twine for tying
For the Marinade:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Marinade:
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place the butterflied lamb in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Filling:
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool. In a bowl, combine the spinach mixture with sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Assemble the Roulade:
Remove the lamb from the marinade and pat dry. Lay the lamb flat on a clean surface, with the cut side facing up. Spread the filling evenly over the lamb, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the lamb tightly from one end to the other, tucking in the filling as you go. Secure the roulade with kitchen twine at intervals.
Sear the Roulade:
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roulade on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Roast in the Oven:
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Rest and Serve:
Remove the roulade from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides, drizzled with pan juices.
