This quick recipe is a lifesaver for midweek suppers. The dry dukkah spice mix is also great as a dip for flatbreads.

Method


  1. For the quinoa salad, mix together the quinoa, herbs and vegetables in a bowl and dress with olive oil and lemon juice. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  2. For the dukkah, heat a frying pan and dry fry the cloves, fennel, coriander and cumin until fragrant. Place in a pestle and mortar and grind until smooth.

  3. Combine the spices with the rest of the dukkah ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined.

  4. Rub each lamb cutlet with the dukkah and orange juice mixture and grill on a hot griddle, on a barbecue, or under a pre-heated grill, for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking.

  5. To serve place some of the quinoa salad onto four plates and place three lamb cutlets on top of each.
