Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. This takes about 3 minutes.
  2. 2. Pat the 400 g lamb chops dry with paper towels. Never wash them, or they’ll become mushy.
  3. 3. Rub the chops with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tbsp thyme, and 1 tbsp oregano.
  4. 4. Wash the 100 g quinoa in a sieve under cold water. Remove any bitter substances.
  5. 5. Put the quinoa in a pot and pour 200 ml water over it. Cover it.
  6. 6. Place the seasoned chops in the air fryer basket. Make sure they don't touch.
  7. 7. Cook the chops at 180 °C for 12 minutes, until golden brown. Flip them after 6 minutes for even browning.
  8. 8. Peel the 1 onion and dice it finely. Also finely chop the 2 garlic cloves.
  9. 9. Wash the Brussels sprouts and halve them lengthwise. Remove any wilted outer leaves if needed.
  10. 10. Put the Brussels sprouts in a small, oven-safe dish. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  11. 11. Place the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer and cook them at 180 °C for 8 minutes.
  12. 12. Take the chops out and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes. This keeps the juices inside.
  13. 13. Drain the cooking water from the quinoa as soon as it’s absorbed. Cover and let it steam for 10 minutes.
  14. 14. Sauté the onion and garlic in the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan until fragrant.
  15. 15. Mix the cooked quinoa with the onion-garlic mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
  16. 16. Arrange the chops, the herb quinoa, and the Brussels sprouts on plates. It’s perfect when the meat is pink and the Brussels sprouts are crisp.
