Marinated Lamb Cutlets with Tzatziki

Flame-cooked lamb cutlets are quite possibly one of the easiest (and most delicious) cast iron Ooni recipes. With minimal ingredients and next-to-no preparation, you’d be a fool not to give these a try. Serve warm with a dollop of minty tzatziki sauce, the perfect fresh pairing for succulent roast lamb.

Marinated Lamb Cutlets with Tzatziki

1: Rub and season your lamb cutlets with oil, salt, and pepper.

(or your seasoning of choice)

2: Fire up your Ooni pizza oven.

Aim for 662˚F (350˚C) on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your Ooni quickly and easily using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer.

3: Place your Cast Iron Pan with some olive oil inside the oven to warm up.

After 1-2 minutes, remove the pan and add your lamb cutlets.

4: Place the pan back in the oven and cook the cutlets for 6-8 minutes, making sure to flip the cutlets halfway through.

5: While your cutlets are cooking, mix together the yoghurt, cucumber, mint, and garlic in a bowl to make the tzatziki.

6: Once the cutlets are cooked to your taste, remove the pan from the oven and transfer the cutlets to a wooden board.

Plate and serve warm with your tzatziki sauce.
