1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

4

Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika and cook for another minute until fragrant.

5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface to clarify the broth.

6

Add the frik to the pot and reduce heat to a simmer.

7

Return the seared lamb medallions to the pot.

8

Cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the frik is tender and the lamb is cooked through.
