Ingredients

1 packet	Silver Fern Farms Lamb Medallions (Main)
½ tsp	Fine salt
1 tsp	Ground coriander
1 tsp	Ground cumin
2 tsp	Lemon zest, finely grated
1 Tbsp	Olive oil

Hot carrot slaw

Directions

1. Heat barbecue or grill to high.

3. Grill until cooked to your liking — for 5-6 minutes for medium rare. Rest for 5 minutes.
4. For the hot carrot slaw, heat the oil in a fry pan on a medium heat. Add the spring onion and garlic, gently fry for 2 minutes. Add carrot and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until just wilted.
