"Behold the Lamb of God" Pizza

No, seriously, it was THAT good.

Ground lamb was the feature in our meat share from Taproot this week, and Erin found a fantastic recipe for ground lamb pizza, with spinach and roasted red pepper sauce. Sounded pretty darn tasty to me, so we set about roasting ourselves a red pepper to puree.

We also roasted up a bulb of garlic, threw that in, and set the blender on "oozify".

While the dough was rising, we cooked up the ground lamb in a pan with some onions. Anyone who feels squeamish at the sight of cooked, ground-up baby sheep, you should be looking at recipes on this site instead. Seriously.

Cooked, ground-up baby sheep. With onions!

With the dough ready, it was time to start putting this pizza together.

That's one saucy pizza crust. ;)

Not visible: a load of mushrooms under that spinach.

Throw a little mozza on top, stick in the oven for about 25 minutes, and you've got yourself one heck of a pizza. We served it up with a little tzatziki on the side, and a generous quantity of red wine.

A pizza the Dead Sheep Scrolls would be proud of.

The only thing that would make this experience complete would be listening to the Handel chorus from "Messiah" that the title of this post refers to. Enjoy!
