Upute za pripremu
- 1.Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa and 200ml of water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, preheat your oven to 200°C. On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes until tender.
- 3.Pat the lamb steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your liking.
- 4.Remove the lamb from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped mint for the dressing.
- 5.In a larger bowl, combine the cooked quinoa with the roasted vegetables. Pour the lemon-mint dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss to combine. Serve the sliced lamb alongside the quinoa salad.
