Minted Grilled Lamb & Quinoa Salad

Some people don't like lamb so much, but I surely love it. Especially here in Australia...it seems to be everywhere and its so easy to buy...so, this was a light dinner and I marinated the lamb the day before. If you don't have quinoa, you can use couscous, but if you do use quinoa, careful with overcooking cause it gets quite sticky.

For 2:

3 small lamb steaks ( or 2 big ones), chopped garlic, olive oil, dried mint, lemon juice, 1 1/2 cup of quinoa, mint leaves, chopped chives, 1 handfull of baby greens for salad, olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper, a bunch of asparagus; half an avocado.

1. Cook the quinoa until its fluffy. Drain it and place it in a large bowl;
2. Meanwhile, grill the lamb steaks on a barbecue or your oven grill for about 15 minutes or until they are cooked to your liking;
3. Cut the asparagus in 5 cm pieces and boil them in hot water;
4. Add come mint and chopped chives to the quinoa, the baby greens, some olive oil, juice of a lemon, salt & pepper to taste and your salad should be ready.
5. Place some of the quinoa mix into a plate, round with some asparagus, a quarter of the avocado, top with the steak, drizzle some more olive oil, and top with black pepper and you're done.
