Spicy Lamb With Zucchini and Spicy Yogurt Sauce
Per serving
A really basic and savory recipe that makes good use of fresh summer zucchini. Lamb naturally tastes great with garlic and onion, while the zucchini and cayenne pepper add a fresh kick. The spicy yogurt is like a cool relief over top, and not too spicy to overwhelm.
