SC - fat rendering?

[Mark.S Harris]

Philippa gave a lamb/goat recipe:

>1 4 lb leg of lamb, deboned and cut into cubes
>lamb fat, rendered, with olive oil

What does this second line mean? Or more precisely,
how should you do this?

This is heating the lamb fat to turn it into oil, right?
What is the olive oil for? Does this keep the fat from
burning while it melts into oil? Should you strain the
resulting oil?  How much olive oil should you use?

Thanks.
