Plating:

Lay a large lettuce leaf on each serving plate. Scoop the lamb and quinoa mixture onto the lettuce leaf. You can also mould the mixture into a round shape using a ramekin. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and an extra hint of flavour. The result is a visually pleasing plate with a perfect balance of colors: the green from the lettuce and parsley, the red hues from the bell peppers, and the brown of the cooked lamb and quinoa. The meal should look as appealing as it is nutritious, inviting you to dig in.
