Instruções
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and place it in a saucepan with 400ml of water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
- 2.Chop the bell peppers and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic. On a baking sheet, toss the vegetables with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
- 3.While the vegetables roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Finely chop the onion and add it to the pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- 4.Add the ground lamb to the pan with the onion. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 8-10 minutes until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- 5.Stir the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, and paprika into the lamb. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
- 6.In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
- 7.Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork. To assemble, divide the quinoa among four bowls. Top with the roasted vegetables, spiced lamb, and drizzle generously with the lemon-dill dressing.
