Instruções
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). On a large baking sheet, toss the chopped bell peppers and zucchini with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- 2.While the vegetables roast, rinse the lentils. Place them in a saucepan with 750ml of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until tender but still holding their shape. Drain any excess water.
- 3.Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, and paprika, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4.Add the ground lamb to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook for 8-10 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess fat.
- 5.In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dill, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
- 6.For meal prep, divide the cooked lentils, roasted vegetables, and spiced lamb evenly among four airtight containers. Store the vinaigrette separately and drizzle over before serving.
