Upute za pripremu
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them cut-side up in a baking dish.
- 2.Cook the quinoa according to package directions (usually simmering 1 part quinoa in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed). Set aside.
- 3.While the quinoa cooks, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- 4.Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the ground lamb, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned all over. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- 5.Stir in the tomato paste, ground cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper.
- 6.Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cooked quinoa, half of the chopped parsley, and the lemon juice. Mix everything together until well combined.
- 7.Spoon the lamb and quinoa mixture evenly into the bell pepper halves. Pour about 120ml of water into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam.
- 8.Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender. Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley before serving.
