Lamb Pot Roast with Oranges and Olives

Ingredients for Lamb Pot Roast with Oranges and Olives

• 1 4–2.3kg boneless lamb shoulder

• Sal kosher, pimenta moída na hora

• 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

• 2 mandarin oranges or tangerines, unpeeled, thinly sliced into rounds

• 240ml Taggiasca or other fruity, brine-cured black olives, pitted, coarsely chopped

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh savory or rosemary

• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

• 350ml beef stock or low-sodium chicken broth

• 350ml dry red wine

• 240ml tomato purée

Holding knife parallel to work surface, cut lamb lengthwise, following seam where bone was removed and stopping about 1/2" before you get all the way through. Open lamb like a book and season all over with salt and pepper. Close, wrap tightly in plastic, and chill at least 8 hours.

Preheat oven to 204°C. Open lamb and arrange garlic on bottom half, leaving a 1" border. Top with orange slices and olives. Sprinkle with savory and red pepper flakes. Close lamb and tie at 1" intervals with kitchen twine.

Place lamb on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until nicely browned, 30–40 minutes. Remove lamb from oven.

Reduce oven temperature to 149°C. Carefully transfer lamb to a large heavy ovenproof pot and add stock, wine, and tomato purée. Cover and braise lamb, basting with braising liquid every 30 minutes, until golden brown and fork-tender, 2 1/2–3 hours. Season with salt and pepper, if needed.

Transfer lamb to a cutting board and let rest at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve with braising liquid.

DO AHEAD: Lamb can be seasoned 1 day ahead; keep chilled. Lamb can be braised 2 days ahead; cover and chill.
