Instructions
- 1.Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the quinoa and 200ml of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
- 2.In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, half of the minced garlic, half of the chopped parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands, but do not overwork the meat.
- 3.Divide the lamb mixture into 6-8 portions and shape them into small ovals or logs (koftas).
- 4.Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the koftas for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
- 5.While the koftas are cooking, prepare the tabbouleh. In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, pomegranate seeds, the remaining parsley, all the mint, and the remaining garlic.
- 6.Drizzle the tabbouleh with the juice of one lemon and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.
- 7.Serve the warm lamb koftas immediately alongside the fresh quinoa tabbouleh.
