- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a baking tray, toss the chopped carrots, parsnips, and red onion with half the olive oil, half the spices (cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric), salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender.

- 3.Pat the lamb cubes dry and season them with the remaining spices, salt, and pepper.
- 4.Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned lamb and cook for 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your liking.
- 5.Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in the minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley.
- 6.Divide the herbed quinoa between two bowls. Top with the roasted root vegetables and the seared lamb. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.
