Lamb Yiros Pizza
We had this lovely greek-style roast lamb leftovers in our fridge. And I had a hankering for pizza. So I decided to try something different to our regular pizza night featuring our kids favourite ham and pineapple pizza.
This week we enjoyed homemade pizza made with our own Roast Lamb Leg leftovers from our farm.
With the roasted spuds, roasted onion and sweet roasted garlic. Topped with crumbled feta and tzatziki.
This will definitely be a repeat.
Someone in our family, (who will remain nameless), is a fan of the roast and three veg type of roast said “it tastes like Yiros!”. A Junior Farmer also enjoyed and gobbled down a piece. Was so good!
Here is your printable Lamb Yiros Pizza recipe from our farm.

Put a piece of baking paper down, lay out your pizza base, spread on 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce and then sprinkle on dried oregano and dried thyme for the greek-style flavour boost on your pizza.
- Sprinkle on a layer of cheese. Layer on sliced roast potato. Place cherry tomatoes, pieces of roast lamb, roasted onion and roasted garlic on top. Sprinkle on a fine layer of grated cheese. Sprinkle on a little more dried oregano and dried garlic.
