Talimatlar
- 1.Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the quinoa and 200ml of water or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool slightly.
- 2.In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, cooked quinoa, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, half of the chopped mint, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overmix.
- 3.Form the mixture into 8-10 small oval or round koftas. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- 4.Carefully place the koftas in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned, crisp, and cooked through. Remove and set on a plate.
- 5.While the koftas cook, prepare the dip. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, the remaining chopped mint, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.
- 6.Serve the warm lamb and quinoa koftas immediately with the cool mint-yogurt dip on the side.
