Upute za pripremu
- 1.Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and 400ml of water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the ground lamb, season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- 3.In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 4.Prepare the fresh vegetables by dicing the cucumber, halving the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slicing the red onion.
- 5.To assemble for meal prep, divide the cooled quinoa and cooked lamb evenly among four airtight containers. Store the mixed fresh vegetables and the dressing in separate small containers to keep them crisp and fresh. Combine all components just before serving.
