Instrucciones
- 1.First, cook the quinoa. Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and 400ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- 2.While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the koftas. In a large bowl, combine the lean lamb mince, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, half of the chopped parsley and mint, ground cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.
- 3.Mix the kofta ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and shape each into a small oval or sausage shape.
- 4.Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the koftas for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.
- 5.To make the tabbouleh, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, quartered cherry tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, and the remaining fresh parsley and mint in a large serving bowl.
- 6.In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing. Pour the dressing over the tabbouleh and toss gently to combine.
