Plating:

Place each lamb shank to one side of the plate, showcasing the tender meat against the bone. Pour a bit of the pan sauce over the shanks for added flavor and visual appeal. On the other side, spread the salad greens. It’s vibrant color contrasting with the meat’s dark caramelization. The final result should be a balance between the robust main dish and the light, refreshing salad. Garnish with an extra sprig of rosemary for aesthetic and aroma.
