Ingredients

  • 2 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and lightly crushed
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 1 tbsp runny honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 x 125g lamb leg steaks, trimmed
  • For the bulgur wheat salad
  • 200g bulgur wheat
  • 300ml chicken stock, hot

Method: How to make griddled lamb with bulgur wheat

1. In a large non-metallic bowl, combine the cumin, coriander, mint, honey and oil. Season and add the lamb. Turn to coat in the marinade and set aside for 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, put the bulgur wheat in a bowl and add the stock. Cover and set aside for 20 minutes or until the grains are tender. Fluff up with a fork and add the remaining salad ingredients. Season.

3. Heat a large griddle pan over a medium-high heat until searing hot. Scrape off and discard the excess marinade from the lamb, add to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes each side for medium. Remove from the heat and rest for 5 minutes.

4. Divide the salad between 4 plates. Slice the lamb and arrange on top. Serve with extra lemon wedges.

Drink note

Keep away from very powerful reds here. An inexpensive, soft Australian Shiraz will be lovely
