Tips & Tricks

• For an extra touch of luxury, garnish the skewers with edible gold flakes before serving.
• Serve the lamb skewers with a side of truffle mashed potatoes for a truly indulgent experience.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of garlic and herbs in the marinade.
• Experiment with different cuts of lamb, such as loin or leg, for variation in texture and flavor.
• To achieve perfectly grilled skewers, soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading the lamb to prevent them from burning.

Serving advice

Serve the Haute Cuisine Lamb Skewers on a bed of arugula or microgreens for an elegant presentation. Drizzle with a balsamic reduction or truffle-infused olive oil for added depth of flavor.

Presentation advice

Arrange the skewers in a geometric pattern on a rectangular plate. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs and lemon wedges for a pop of color. Consider using a slate or marble serving board for a modern and sophisticated presentation.
