    • 2 tsp coriander seeds
    • 1 tsp caraway seeds

How to make this Merguez Marinated Lamb Skewers with Lentil & Charred Radicchio Salad Recipe

1. Remove the Silver Fern Farms Lamb Medallions from the packaging and set aside for 10 minutes to bloom before cooking.

2. Place the cumin seeds, fennel seeds, coriander seeds and caraway seeds in a small frying pan over high heat. Toast for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

3. Remove from the heat and then crush with a mortar and pestle, until fine. Add the smoked paprika and season well with sea salt and black pepper. Reserve 2 teaspoons of the spice mix and set aside for later. Place the remaining spice mix in a large bowl, then add the lamb medallions and gently toss to coat.

4. Allow the lamb to marinate for 10 minutes, then thread onto metal skewers.

5. Preheat a chargrill pan over high heat. Brush the radicchio wedges with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil and chargrill the cut sides for 3 minutes. Place in a large bowl and set aside for later.

6. Brush the lamb with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Working in two batches, cook the lamb for 4 minutes each side, or until charred and just cooked through. Loosely cover with foil and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

7. Add the lentils, hazelnuts, pomegranate seeds and tarragon to the bowl with the radicchio. Add the lemon juice, red wine vinegar and remaining olive oil and gently toss to coat.

8. Divide salad between plates. Top with the lamb and sprinkle with the spice mix to serve.
