Spiced lamb chops and herby quinoa

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. In a bowl, combine the spice mix and 2 tbsp of the oil. Rub all over the lamb, then set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat and sear the lamb on both sides for 2 minutes or until golden all over.
3. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes (for slightly pink meat), remove and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
4. Meanwhile, add the quinoa to the frying pan with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and cook for a few minutes to heat through and absorb the lamb juices.
5. Transfer to a dish and stir through the herbs, pine nuts and pomegranate seeds. Season and serve with the lamb, plus any resting juices.
