Plating:
Place a generous scoop of the quinoa and vegetable mixture in the center of a wide, shallow bowl. Arrange the sliced lamb loin on top, fanning the slices out for visual appeal. Drizzle a bit of the tahini and lemon dressing over the lamb, and garnish with a sprig of rosemary. The finished dish should be colorful, with the vibrant veggies providing a contrast to the rich, dark lamb, and the creamy tahini adding a touch of elegance.
