Instruções
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a small pot, combine the quinoa and 300ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, toss the sliced bell peppers and red onion with 15ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
- 3.In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 30ml of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped mint, and parsley to create the dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
- 4.Season the lamb cubes with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked to your desired doneness.
- 5.Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork. To assemble, divide the quinoa between two bowls. Top with the roasted vegetables, seared lamb, fresh cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumber. Drizzle generously with the lemon-herb dressing before serving.
