Flame-cooked lamb cutlets are quite possibly one of the easiest (and most delicious) cast iron Ooni recipes.

Method

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 350˚C (662˚F) 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.
