Instrucciones
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a baking sheet, toss the chopped carrot, parsnip, and red onion wedges with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- 2.Roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized at the edges.
- 3.While the vegetables roast, cook the quinoa according to package directions. Typically, this involves simmering 100g of quinoa in 200ml of water for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- 4.In a bowl, combine the lamb cubes with the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, the remaining olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 5.Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned lamb and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked to your liking.
- 6.To assemble, divide the cooked quinoa between two bowls. Top with the roasted root vegetables, the cooked lamb, and a handful of fresh spinach.
- 7.Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over both bowls just before serving to brighten the flavors.
