Upute za pripremu
- 1.Rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with 400ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, prepare the koftas. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, half of the chopped parsley, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
- 3.Mix the kofta ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Form the mixture into 12-16 small, oval-shaped koftas.
- 4.Create the sauce by placing the drained roasted red peppers, walnuts, the remaining 1 minced garlic clove, and half of the lemon juice into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5.Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the koftas in the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.
- 6.Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Stir in the remaining fresh parsley and the rest of the lemon juice. Divide the herbed quinoa among four plates, top with the lamb koftas, and drizzle with the red pepper walnut sauce to serve.
