1
Rinse the quinoa in a large fine mesh strainer with cold water, then transfer to a small saucepan.

Remove from the heat, fluff with a fork and let cool before mixing into the lamb.

Mix together the quinoa, lamb, cumin, cayenne, garlic, egg, onions and some salt in a large bowl until the mixture comes together and is smooth.

Heat a large nonstick saute pan over high heat for 1 minute, and then add the oil.
7
