Coffee and Cumin Roast Lamb with Quinoa

So, this is yogurt, instant espresso, cumin, brown sugar, and cloves.

Smear it on a boneless leg of lamb… Yes, I know what this looks like. Roast at 475° F until the internal temp reaches 130°.

Meanwhile, wash and then simmer Quinoa for 10 minutes. Then strain, and steam in sieve over reserved liquid, loosely covered, for another 5 minutes. Slightly complicated, yes, but leaves the Quinoa with a much better texture.

Whisk together lemon juice/zest, melted butter, honey, and salt & pepper.

Add the Quinoa and toss with fresh corn, scallions, and tarragon.
