        Instructions<\/h3>
        • Before you start, preheat oven to 220\u00b0C (or 200\u00b0C fan bake) or BBQ to medium (if using). Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Pat lamb dry, toss with Middle Eastern spices and oil and season with salt and pepper (keep plain for fussy little foodies).<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Heat a large fry-pan on medium-high heat and cook lamb, fat side down for 3 minutes. Flip and cook a further 2 minutes, then transfer to a lined oven tray and bake for 10-14 minutes for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Alternatively, cook lamb on BBQ grill, fat side down, for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 15\u201325 minutes, turning every 4\u20135 minutes, until medium (depending on thickness). Rest.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Add quinoa to pot of boiling water and cook for about 15 minutes, until tender with a slight bite. Drain, rinse under cold water then drain well.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Prep cucumber, capsicum, tomato and spinach.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • In a large bowl, toss cooked quinoa with remaining veggie quinoa ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep separate and plain for fussy little foodies.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
