Which dish you love the most on Easter day .Roast lamb is fairly traditional at Easter here .

As Easter is past, I'll add this to the existing thread

DH took us out and we all had roast dinners

I had leftover dominoes pizza (which we got for £15 = original cost but found a £10 voucher off online:j) Then i wished I had went to the trouble of making myself a roast dinner!:o

I normally do a rerun of the Christmas Dinner but this year we were in Prague and had an Italian which wasn't brilliant.

Had a much nicer meal on Easter Monday which was a Lamb Shank with sauteed potatoes and spinach.

DH had a huge joint of Roast Pork that you carved yourself, with grated horseradish, mustard, gherkins and bread.

£20 per couple with drinks, can't be bad.

Hi

I am sitting with my notebook getting a little stressed about what to cook over Easter, we've got family coming to stay. They come to stay a few times a year so I am used to it and they all help out. I am not trying to impress them, I just want them to have some nice food and would prefer to prepare at least some of it beforehand.

I will be catering for Good Friday lunch and tea, Saturday breakfast, lunch and tea and Easter Sunday breakfast and lunch. The one I am struggling with is Easter Sunday lunch, is it traditionally lamb? I have never cooked lamb and am not sure if it's really expensive? I have got a slow cooker so could cook some sort of joint in that? Could I do that the day before in the slow cooker? Or maybe some sort of casserole would be better? I suppose it doesn't need to be lamb?

There will be 5 adults and 4 children and I need to keep it as reasonably priced as possible because I've got so much else to buy.

Any ideas/advice would be appreciated.
Thank you

Lamb isn't cheap and it can be difficult to carve so I try to avoid it if we are having visitors.You can get boned shoulders or legs which are easier to carve-our local branch of Tesco sells them-sometimes.

If you want a joint for Easter Sunday I'd see what's on offer in the supermarket and I'd cook it in the oven rather than the slow cooker.

i would go and make a great dish i had in Lebanon, called "sinye" (or something like it):
you take minced lamb (cheap) and stir-fry it with onions, garlic and parsley and pine nuts (these are expensive, so it's not essential).
you can do this a day or two in advance, which will make it easier...
when done, put the whole thing in the oven with some Tehini paste over it (you can get it almost everywhere).
after 5 minutes - it's done.
they serve it with Pita bread and adults AND children can just have fun with it!
hope this helps
enjoy

No hun, Lamb is not a traditional Easter Sunday lunch! why do you think there are chicks everywhere for Easter things? Roast chicken and seasonal veg or frozen veg. Keep it Simple - you are doing enough over the weekend. a Traditional cake for Easter Sunday is Simnel cake. if you want to keep it traditional. otherwise just do something easy like Eton mess or a fave dessert.
