Plating:
Place two kebabs diagonally on a clean, white plate. Arrange a sprig of fresh rosemary next to the kebabs for color and aroma. Drizzle any remaining marinade or juices from the grilled kebabs over the lamb and vegetables for added flavor and presentation. The colorful peppers and onion should be interspersed evenly with the lamb on the skewer, creating a vibrant, inviting presentation. The overall look should be rustic yet refined, showcasing the simplicity and freshness of the ingredients.
