Ingredients:
- 2 cups quinoa
- 4 cups, chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lbs ground lamb
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Baharat Spice Mix*
- 1 tablespoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions:
- 1. Combine the quinoa and stock and cook according to instructions until done. (Cauliflower rice would work well in place of quinoa for a lower carb, grain free, solution).
- 2. In a skillet, cook the ground lamb until done and remove from the pan to a bowl. Reserve the drippings.
- 3. In the same skillet, in the lamb drippings, sauté the onion until translucent. Add the quinoa, cooked lamb and the Baharat Spice Mix, turmeric and salt, stirring until well blended. Serve and enjoy.
