Instruções
- 1.In a medium pot, combine the lentils, quinoa, and 750ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and grains are tender. Set aside.
- 2.While the grains cook, heat 15ml of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground lamb and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Add the minced garlic and dried oregano, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
- 3.In a large bowl, combine the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, chopped mint, and parsley.
- 4.In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the remaining 45ml of olive oil, the juice of one lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
- 5.For meal prep, divide the cooked lentil/quinoa mixture and the seasoned lamb evenly among four airtight containers. Store the fresh salad and the dressing in separate, smaller containers to keep them crisp. Combine everything just before serving.
