Istruzioni
- 1.Cook the 200g of quinoa according to package directions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
- 2.In a large bowl, combine the 500g lamb mince, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands, but do not overwork. Form the mixture into 8-10 small, oblong koftas.

- 4.Heat 15ml (1 tbsp) of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the koftas and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
- 5.Add the cooled quinoa to the vegetable and herb mixture. Drizzle with the remaining 30ml (2 tbsp) of olive oil and the juice of one lemon. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.
- 6.Divide the quinoa tabbouleh among four plates and top with the freshly cooked lamb koftas. Serve immediately.
