Gourmet Greek Lamb Pizza Recipe
Today is a very exciting day for me, as I just received the published copy of my brand new pizza cookbook! It’s been a very long time coming, and it’s taken a great deal of time and effort to make it happen.
Me Holding My New Pizza Cookbook!
If you’ve been following me for a while, I very much appreciate your support and patience, and I look forward to sharing a lot more easy recipes with you in the near future. In the meantime, if you’re keen to check out my pizza cookbook, you can find it here at Amazon.
I decided that I will share my absolute favourite pizza recipe to celebrate this occasion, so here it is 
Gourmet Greek Lamb Pizza Ingredients
Gourmet Greek Lamb Pizza
200g dough ball, rolled and ready
2 ½ tablespoons Napoli sauce
90g mozzarella cheese, grated
10g dried mixed herbs
35g feta cheese, diced
20g kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
100g lamb backstrap, marinated in basil pesto
2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt or Tzatziki
Gourmet Greek Lamb Pizza Method
- Preheat a pizza stone in your oven to 250C for 30 minutes, or use a really hot wood-fired oven.
- Spread Napoli sauce over the pizza base.
- Cover with cheese, then sprinkle mixed herbs and crushed garlic over the top (add a little olive oil to the garlic to make it easier to distribute if you like).
- Sprinkle the olives and crumble the feta cheese over the pizza.
- Cook in the oven at 250C for 7 to 10 minutes.
- While your pizza is in the oven, seal both sides of your lamb backstrap on a hot frypan, then place in the oven for about 3 to 5 minutes (ideally the meat should be medium-rare, but it’s up to you how much you like it cooked).
- When your lamb is cooked to your liking, take out of the oven and allow to rest for 2 minutes.
- Slice the lamb thinly, and place over the top of the cooked pizza.
- Cut the pizza into slices, and drizzle the yoghurt or tzatziki over the top.
