Plating:
Place a generous slice of the lamb on the plate laying flat. Arrange a side of asparagus and Brussels sprouts artistically next to it. You can creatively pile them or place them length-wise for a linear presentation. The juices remaining in the roasting pan can be drizzled lightly over the lamb, giving it a glossy and appetizing look. Sprinkle a pinch of chopped rosemary over the vegetables and lamb to garnish. Aim for a balanced, vibrant presentation where the ingredients can shine in their own right. Your “Roast Lamb Temple” is ready to be served!
