Upute za pripremu
- 1.Rinse 150g of quinoa under cold water. Add it to a small pot with 300ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Set aside to cool slightly.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix the cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Rub the spice blend evenly over all sides of the lamb chops.
- 3.Heat 15ml of olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the lamb chops in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish. Adjust cooking time for your desired doneness. Remove from pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- 4.In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped dried apricots, finely chopped red onion, fresh mint, and parsley.
- 5.Create the dressing by whisking together the juice of one lemon, the remaining 15ml of olive oil, and the minced garlic in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and toss well to combine.
