Default ACF members?

I'm entering my first culinary competition soon and I'm looking for some guidance. It's a Army culinary competition but it is getting judged from members of the ACF. I'm doing Lamb. I need 4 plates. And ideas or helpful hints.

Lamb mixiote! It's a Mexican spiced lamb steamed/braised in maguey (or banana) leaves

So been looking into it. I may have a hard time doing that because I only will have 60 minutes from start to finish. I'm going to be looking into a work around maybe another cut of Lamb.

Any other ideas out there?

Not sure yet. I have to tell them. I was thinking bone on loin but it's kinda always played out. I wanted to be the plate that's different in a good way.

Well I dunno. I like a good lamb curry, personally, but for a competition maybe those types of dishes are difficult to make a good-looking dish aesthetically.

Probably not much help but I have an authentic Greek place down the street that makes an amazing Gyro. No idea how they spice it, but nice big chunks of lamb. Love those dang things, it's all I eat there.
