Instructions
- 1.Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the sliced carrots with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- 2.While the carrots roast, 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 or until the water is absorbed.
- 3.Pat the lamb chops dry. In a small bowl, mix the cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice blend all over the lamb chops.
- 4.Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on thickness and desired doneness.
- 5.Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Stir in the chopped parsley, mint, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- 6.Serve the spiced lamb chops immediately with the herbed quinoa and roasted carrots, with extra lemon wedges on the side.
