Instrucciones
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Rinse the quinoa, then cook it by simmering 100g of quinoa in 200ml of water for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender. Fluff with a fork.
- 2.On a baking tray, toss the chopped bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes with 15ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- 3.While the vegetables roast, heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the lamb mince and cook until browned, breaking it apart. Drain any excess fat.
- 4.Stir in 1 minced garlic clove, cumin, coriander, and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- 5.To make the dressing, whisk together the tahini, the juice of one lemon, the remaining minced garlic clove, and 3-4 tablespoons of water in a small bowl until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Season with a pinch of salt.
- 6.Assemble your bowls by dividing the cooked quinoa between two plates. Top with the roasted vegetables and the spiced lamb. Finish with a generous drizzle of the lemon-tahini dressing and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
