Begin with a base layer of the lentil mixture on a warm plate, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Then, delicately arrange the tender lamb pieces atop the lentils. Gently scatter the fresh herbs over the dish, adding color and aroma. The result should be a satisfying balance of hearty protein and vibrant vegetables, with the lentils providing a contrasting texture to the tender lamb. The colors of the bell pepper, onion, and fresh herbs should pop against the savory brown of lamb and lentils, making it as beautiful as it is delicious.
