Talimatlar
- 1.Rinse the quinoa and lentils. In two separate small pots, cook the quinoa and lentils according to package directions. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, drain any excess water and set aside.
- 2.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). On a baking sheet, toss the diced zucchini, bell pepper, and half of the minced garlic with 10ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- 3.Pat the lamb dry and season generously on both sides with cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.
- 4.Heat the remaining 10ml of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until cooked to your preference. Remove from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 5.In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, lentils, roasted vegetables, sliced red onion, chopped mint, and the remaining minced garlic. Drizzle with the juice of one lemon and toss gently to combine.
- 6.Serve the warm quinoa and lentil salad onto two plates. Top with the sliced, rested lamb and enjoy immediately.
