Plating

Let’s plate this amazing dish! For a luxurious presentation we suggest placing the carrots on first with the lamb chop draped over the carrots. Drizzle a bit of the mint chimichurri over the entire entrée and dish – Have fun and get creative, the chimichurri sauce is your paint. Finally, top with micro basil for pizzazz. If you want to take your dish from 100 to 1,000 you can add some flare and smoky flavoring. Place a large smoking clothe or glass bowl over your prepared dish and using a meat smoking gun filled with shaving of mint applewood, fill the bowl until just hazy. Present to the table and remove the bowl for a ta-da reveal!
