Instrukcje
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
- 2.On a large baking sheet, toss the chopped vegetables and whole cherry tomatoes with 30ml (2 tablespoons) of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- 3.While the vegetables are roasting, cook the quinoa. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and place it in a saucepan with 400ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- 4.In a large skillet, heat 15ml (1 tablespoon) of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground lamb, minced garlic, oregano, mint, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- 5.Prepare the dressing by whisking together the tahini, the juice of 1 lemon, the remaining 15ml (1 tablespoon) of olive oil, and 3-4 tablespoons of water until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Season with a pinch of salt.
- 6.Assemble the meal prep bowls. Divide the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, and seasoned lamb evenly among four containers. Store the dressing in separate small containers to add just before serving to maintain freshness.
