Instrucciones
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a baking sheet, toss the cubed eggplant, zucchini, and bell pepper with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
- 2.While the vegetables roast, rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a small pot, combine the quinoa and 300ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- 3.Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until it softens. Add the minced garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.
- 4.Add the lamb mince to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned all over, then drain any excess fat.
- 5.Stir in the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spices are aromatic.
- 6.Assemble your bowls by dividing the cooked quinoa, then topping it with the roasted vegetables and the spiced lamb. Garnish with fresh chopped mint or parsley and a generous squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
