Ingredients
- 300g ground lamb
- 100g quinoa
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 small red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 15g fresh mint
- 15g fresh parsley
- 30ml olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the bell pepper and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Toss them on a baking sheet with 15ml of olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender.
- 2.While the vegetables roast, rinse the quinoa thoroughly. In a small pot, combine the quinoa with 200ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until all water is absorbed.
- 3.In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped mint and parsley, cumin, and coriander. Season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- 4.Form the lamb mixture into 4-6 small patties. Heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
- 5.Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and gently stir in the roasted vegetables. Serve the herbed lamb patties immediately with the quinoa medley and fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over.
