Plating:
Divide the stir-fry evenly amongst four plates, with the vibrant colors of the broccoli and red bell pepper presented upfront while the lean slices of lamb are tucked underneath. The sprinkling of scallions on top adds the finishing touch and a pop of bright green color. The result should be rustic but colorful, balancing the natural hues of the meat and the vegetables. The Lamb Lover’s High-Protein Stir-Fry must be abundant yet simply plated to represent its traditional roots. The aroma should do most of the enticing, the visual allure is just a bonus.
