Instrucciones
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Peel and chop the beetroot into 2cm cubes. Toss with 15ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender.
- 2.While the beetroot roasts, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the quinoa with 200ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- 3.Prepare the salad. Thinly slice the fennel bulb. Zest the orange, then peel and segment it. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted beetroot, sliced fennel, and orange segments.
- 4.Pat the lamb loins dry and season generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary. Heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- 5.Transfer the lamb to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 6.Create the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice and orange zest. Drizzle over the quinoa salad and toss gently. Serve the sliced lamb alongside the vibrant beetroot and quinoa salad.
