directions
- Make the sauce a day ahead, or at the least, a few hours ahead to allow the flavors to properly meld together.
- Add all the ingredients for the sauce into a food processor and mix until well blended. If you don't have a food processor, just chop as finely as you can. Place in a sealed container in your refrigerator.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute the zucchini and garlic in the olive oil.
- In a cast iron pan, cook the lamb with the onions until the lamb is brown and the onions are soft.
- Add the zucchini and garlic to the lamb, mix well.
- Serve with the Spicy Yogurt Sauce over top. You can also serve it on rice, if you like.

I love to bake. I have a pretty good collection of classic family recipes, but am always trying something new. During the day, I'm a graphic designer / photographer and part-time photography professor. I'm married to a guy that loves to cook too. We have three awesome kids, one with serious food allergies, so I've adapted many recipes to be gluten and nut free with great success.
