Method

Cook the Quinoa

Cook the quinoa according to the pack instructions using the vegetable stock or water. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.

Make the Koftas

In a bowl, combine the Redefine Lamb Kofta Mix, onion, red pepper, garlic, chopped coriander and spices. Mix well, then roll into 8 equal-sized koftas.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the koftas for 6–8 minutes, turning regularly until evenly browned. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce

Using the same pan, cook the onion for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the tomato purée, cumin, smoked paprika and turmeric and cook for 1 minute.

Pour in the passata and vegetable stock, season with salt and pepper and bring to a gentle simmer. Return the koftas to the pan and cook for 8–10 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half and the koftas are cooked through.

Make the Salad

Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, coriander, lemon juice and olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and cracked black pepper and mix well.

To Serve

Divide the quinoa between two bowls. Top with the lamb koftas and spoon over the tomato sauce.

Finish with the tomato and cucumber salad, pickled red onions, fresh coriander and a wedge of lemon.
