Ingredients

1 lamb leg (about 2.5kg before boning), butterflied but with shank bone left in (ask your butcher to do this for you)
3 onions, cut into eighths
1 garlic bulb, cloves separated but not peeled
100ml dry white wine
Koulouri or simit bread to serve (optional)
For the stuffing
100g feta
50g black pitted olives, roughly chopped
50g sun-drenched tomatoes, roughly chopped
Small bunch dill, finely chopped, plus extra fronds for garnish
Few sprigs oregano, leaves picked and roughly chopped
1 lemon, zest plus wedges for serving
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
60g fresh breadcrumbs
For the beans
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 x 400g tins cherry tomatoes
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp dried oregano
3 x 400g tins butter beans, drained and rinsed
Small bunch dill, roughly chopped
Few sprigs oregano, leaves picked

Steps:

Heat the oven to 220C fan/gas 9. Put the lamb skin-side down on a board, then open it out and season with salt and pepper.
For the stuffing, crumble the feta into a bowl and mix with the rest of the stuffing ingredients and plenty of seasoning. Spread the stuffing all over the inside of the lamb, then roll it up and secure with kitchen string (see Know-how). Arrange the onions and garlic in a large roasting tin in a single layer. Halve the zested lemon used for the stuffing and add that to the tin too. Put the lamb on top, season, then roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 170C fan/gas 5, add the wine and return to the oven for a further 40-50 minutes; once cooked, transfer the lamb to a board, cover and set aside to rest for 30 minutes. Keep the roasting tin handy.
To make the beans, squeeze out the flesh from the garlic cloves (discarding the skins) back into the roasting tin and crush with the back of a fork, then add the tomato purée, chopped tomatoes, cinnamon, oregano and butter beans. Stir well and return to the oven for 30 minutes while the lamb rests. Once the beans are ready, stir most of the fresh herbs through the sauce.
Remove the string from the lamb and slice thickly. Serve on top of the butterbeans with the remaining dill and oregano scattered over to garnish, plus the bread and lemon wedges.
