Lamb Kofta and Quinoa Tabbouleh Protein Bowl

Swapping the usual bulgur in tabbouleh for quinoa adds a modest protein contribution to what's normally more of a fresh herb salad, and it holds up well next to the richness of grilled lamb kofta. Cumin, coriander, and a little cinnamon in the kofta mix keep things warmly spiced rather than heavy.

We tagged this fitness__athlete_nutrition and high-protein because lamb is a genuinely dense protein source even in smaller portions, and the quinoa base adds to that total rather than just serving as filler. It's a common dinner choice when you want a bowl with real depth of flavor after training.

Wet your hands before shaping the kofta — it keeps the mixture from sticking and makes for neater logs on the grill.
