Mediterranean Lamb Bowl, A Flavor-Packed, Healthy Recipe

This Mediterranean Lamb Bowl is both healthy and super tasty! It’s packed with good stuff like lean lamb, fresh veggies, and couscous, which is a great source of fibre. And if you know fibre, most people these days seem to be lacking it. The lamb is marinated with spices like cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, giving it an amazing flavour, and spices are also super healthy. You can also use diced lamb if you prefer, however thinly sliced works best. Plus, the veggies like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion add a fresh crunch. The creamy dressing made with Greek yogurt and lemon juice ties everything together.

Mediterranean food is known for being healthy because it uses fresh ingredients and good fats like olive oil. This dish is a perfect mix of healthy and delicious!

Steps

Step 1
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the lamb, mix well to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
Step 2
Heat a large griddle pan over medium high heat. Add the marinated lamb and cook until browned and pink inside, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to rest in warm place.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yoghurt, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried or fresh oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Divide the cooked couscous among four bowls. Top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, arugula, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, parsley, and mint. Add the sliced cooked lamb on top. Drizzle with the prepared dressing. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and mint if desired.
