- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
LAMB KOFTA
- 1 courgette
- 450g lamb mince
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons GF kofta spice mix
SWEET CHILLI YOGHURT
- 2 teaspoons GF mild sweet chilli sauce
- 1 pottle natural yoghurt
TO SERVE

Steps
-
oven to 220°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Bring a medium pot (with a lid) of water to the boil.
-
Toss beetroot and carrot on first prepared tray with first measure of kofta spice mix and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast in oven for about 20 minutes, until tender.
-
Grate courgette into a clean tea towel and squeeze to remove excess water. Add to a medium bowl with all remaining lamb kofta ingredients and mix well to combine.
-
Using clean hands, shape into golf-ball sized balls, place on second prepared tray and flatten slightly until about 1cmthick. Drizzle with a little oil. Bake (on rack above veggies) for about 15 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Turn halfway to ensure even cooking.
-
While kofta bake, cook quinoa in pot of boiling water for about 12 minutes, until tender with a slight bite. Drain, rinse under warm water then drain again well.
-
Add quinoa to a large bowl, along with roasted veggies, spring onions (if using), oil and salt. Mix to combine and season with freshly ground pepper. In a small bowl, combine sweet chilli sauce and yoghurt and set aside. Roughly chop lettuce and place in a small serving bowl, if desired.
-
divide roasted veggie quinoa between plates, top with a few lamb kofta and drizzle with sweet chilli yoghurt. Serve lettuce on the side.
