1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 garlic cloves, peeled
4 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, divided
3 tbsp ancho chilies, powder
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 green onions, divided
1 tbsp packed dark brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp coarse kosher salt
2 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
4 1/2 lbs boneless leg of lamb , opened flat like a book, trimmed of all fat and sinew (3 1/2 lb after trimming)
