Mirepoix:
- Onion, chopped -125 g

- Celery, chopped -60 g
Method:
- Sauté the onion and garlic in oil until soft. Remove from heat and cool.
- Combine onion and garlic with the remaining stuffing ingredients and mix lightly.
- Lay the lamb shoulder out flat, fat side down
- Spread the lamb with the stuffing and roll it up. Tie the roll tightly.
- Rub the meat with oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
- Place the meat on a rack in a roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat (not into the stuffing).
- Place in a 325°F (165°C) oven. Roast the meat for about 1 and 1/2 hours.
- Place the mirepoix in the bottom of the roasting pan. Baste the meat with fat and continue to roast until the thermometer reads 160°F (71°C). Total cooking time is about 2 and 1/2 hours.
- Remove the roast from the pan and let stand in a warm place.
- Set the roasting pan over high heat to clarify the fat and finish browning the mirepoix. Drain off about three-fourths of the fat.
- Add the flour to the pan to make a roux, cooking it until it is brown.
- Stir in the stock and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring, until the gravy is thickened and reduced to about 1 and 1/2 pt (750 mL).
- Strain and skim excess fat.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Slice the roast crosswise, so each slice contains stuffing in the center. When slicing, be careful to keep the slices from falling apart. Serve each portion with (60 ml) gravy.
