Please wash your hands and rinse all fresh fruits and vegetables prior to cooking.
Instructions
1 Boil quinoa
- Add the quinoa to a large bowl, cover with warm water and rinse.
- Drain in a fine sieve.
- Add the measured water, drained quinoa and the 0.5 stock cube.
- Bring to a boil.
- Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 min or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
Tip! Rinsing quinoa with warm water before cooking increases its flavour by removing the bitter taste.
2 Prep kofta
- Meanwhile, pick and finely chop the parsley.
- In a large bowl, combine the beef mince, garlic onion powder, coriander cumin powder, smoked paprika, olive oil, soy sauce and pepper with the parsley.
- With clean hands, knead the mixture until fully combined.
- Shape into 10 koftas and set aside.
Tip! Coat your hands in oil or water before shaping the koftas; this way the mixture won't stick to your hands.
3 Make tzatziki
- Peel and mince the garlic.
- Grate half of the cucumbers (reserving the rest for serving) with fine blade, then carefully squeeze out any excess water.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, grated cucumber and the yogurt.
- Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
- Mix well and set aside.
Tip! Go easy on the raw garlic, if you find the taste too punchy.
4 Prep bowls
- Chop the tomatoes into small cubes.
- Slice the reserved cucumber into thin slices.
- Trim the baby gem lettuce and chop into strips.
5 Fry kofta
- Heat a large pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the koftas for 5-7 min, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely browned.
Tip! If the pan is looking crowded, fry the koftas in batches. This will stop them from stewing, rather than frying.
6 Serve
- Combine the chopped tomatoes with the cooked quinoa.
- Serve the Beef Koftas, Lettuce and Cucumber over the Quinoa and Tomato Mix.
- Add a dollop of tzatziki.
Tip! If cooking for kids, serve the kofta, quinoa, cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce separately. Serve a bit of tzatziki on the side.
