Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 2 lamb tenderloin fillets
- 10 cm (4") Ginger root, peeled and roughly chopped
- 30 g (3 oz) coriander leaves
- 2 teaspoons toasted white cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon toasted black cumin seeds (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons paprika powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- A good glug of olive oil
Method
- Cut the fillets so you have four servings
- Hammer them flat under a large knife - see here
- Place in a bowl
- Lightly crusg the cumin seeds in mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder if you have one
- Put the remaining ingredients including the cumin in the food processor
- Blitz until you have a smooth paste
- If the mixture refuses to amalgamate,add a little more liquid. I squeeze a tangerine into the mixture to get it going, but only because I had one to hand. A tablespoon or so of water would do
- Pour over the lamb and marinate in the refrigerator for an hour
- Lay the lamb fillets on an oiled barbecue hotplate
- Cook for 8 minutes, turning three times in total, check that it's cooked to your liking
- Rest for 5 minutes
- Slice thickly and serve
