1⁄3 cup (60g) white quinoa (or other colour) rinsed
2⁄3 cup (160ml) water
1⁄4 tsp salt
300g lamb backstrap
salt & pepper, to taste
1 red pepper deseeded & sliced
1 yellow pepper deseeded & sliced
1 1⁄2 cups (60g) baby spinach leaves
1 lemon half juiced & half cut into wedges
30g feta crumbled
Place quinoa, water and salt in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Lower heat and simmer, covered for 12 minutes or until just cooked. Rest covered for 5 minutes then fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, preheat a BBQ or non-stick grill pan over medium-high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes each side for medium, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely and rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Add peppers to BBQ and cook for 5-8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until tender.
Toss quinoa with spinach and lemon juice and adjust seasoning.
Divide quinoa and pepper slices between plates and top with lamb, feta and lemon wedge to serve.
