Ground Lamb and Goat Cheese Pizza
This recipe uses ground colorado lamb, local goat cheese, caramelized onions and golden raisins. The secret ingredient is Koefte spice – a wonderful blend of spices from Turkey (which I scored during a trip late last year).
I added the lamb mixture to fresh pizza dough from Denver’s own Sunflower Market, with which I’ve been very impressed. The, lacking a pizza stone or a wood-fired oven, added the dough to a 12-inch cast iron skillet.
I threw the skillet in the oven while it was heating to 400 degrees. I gave it another 5 or ten minutes then threw the pizza into the pan. 10 minutes at 400 and another 2-3 on high broil. Et Voila.
Another great thing to try…if you’re hosting outdoors and don’t want to use the oven. Throw your skillet onto a hot grill, cover and wait until it’s smokin hot, and then add the pizza to the grill. Keeps the heat out of the kitchen, too. Nice, if like us, you’re trying to use less energy.
Be sure to pair this with Raki or Ouzo and enjoy a little break from the tired old pizza on a hot summer day.
Cheers,
Will
