What’s for Easter Dinner?

Easter dinner is a great time to highlight spring’s bounty. Potatoes, leeks, artichokes, broccoli, and citrus are all in season (at least in my part of the country) and make versatile accompaniments to a meaty main. Mix and match from the following recipes to create your ideal Easter menu.

Appetizers/First Course

• Smoked Salmon Tartare
• Seafood Skewers with Cajun Red Butter
• Grilled Lemon Oysters

Main

Depending on how many people you’re entertaining, and the weather, you can decide which lamb recipe is right for your needs. Any of them make a great main dish.

• Seared Lamb Chops
• Lamb on the Barbie
• Roast Leg of Lamb

Sides

• Potato Leek Pie
• Roman Artichokes
• Broccoli Ham and Bacon Au Gratin
• Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
• Broccoli Rabe

Desserts

• Lemon Squares
• Lemon Freezer Cake
• Toffee Bites
