- 2.Add the ground lamb to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- 3.Stir in the diced bell peppers and zucchini. Cook for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- 4.Add the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is cooked.
