Season well and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.2.Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa. Fry the onion in the oil for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and quinoa and cook for a further 1 minute. Increase the heat, then add the wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the stock, reducing the heat and leaving to simmer for 20-25 minutes.3.Preheat the grill to medium-high. Arrange the pepper halves on a tray and place a cherry tomato and basil leaf inside each half, then grill for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, griddle the marinated lamb chops until charred but still pink. Set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.4. Chop the remaining tomatoes and stir through the quinoa with the broccoli, cooking for 2 minutes. Stir through the carrot, remaining basil and lemon juice, seasoning to taste. Serve all together, garnished with chopped mint.
