1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 boneless lamb breasts (1 –11/2 pounds each), fat trimmed
Kosher salt
4 garlic cloves, finely grated

6 ounces ricotta, drained
1/2 cup pitted oil-cured olives, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup coarsely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Finely grind oregano, fennel, and red pepper flakes in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Place lamb breasts on a work surface, fat side down, and season with salt. Sprinkle spice mixture over top, then rub garlic into meat, working over entire surface.
Mix egg yolk, Pecorino, ricotta, olives, parsley, and lemon juice in a small bowl to combine and spread evenly over both lamb breasts. Working with 1 breast at a time and starting from a short end, roll up so lamb is resting seam side down. Starting at the center, tie each roll with kitchen twine at even intervals.
