Instruções
- 1.In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, prepare the tabbouleh. In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumber, tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, half of the parsley, half of the mint, and half of the red onion.
- 3.Once the quinoa has cooled slightly, add it to the vegetable bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, half the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the dressing. Pour over the tabbouleh and toss gently to combine.
- 4.To make the patties, combine the ground lamb, remaining red onion, parsley, mint, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and form into 4-6 small patties.
- 5.Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through to your liking.
- 6.Serve the warm herbed lamb patties immediately alongside the fresh quinoa and pomegranate tabbouleh.
