  4. In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil on medium-high. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the chopped garlic. Cook ever so briefly and then add the canned diced tomato. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Now stir in the cooked quinoa. Once warmed through, add the chopped fresh mint. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
  5. Time to grill the lamb chops! On a high heated gas grill, grill the lamb chops for 6-7 minutes, turning over once.
  6. When ready to serve, transfer the quinoa to serving bowls topping each with a portion of the finely chopped red onions, feta cheese and more fresh mint leaves for garnish. Serve 2-3 lamb chops over the quinoa bowls with a side of plain Greek yogurt.
