Easter Feasting

Easter Feasting

Woohoo! It’s everyone’s second favourite Christian holiday - Easter! A time for resurrection, chocolate eggs, and the joy of a long bank holiday weekend.

More importantly, it’s a chance to gather with family and friends and sit down to a proper feast. And if we’re feasting, then something beautiful must surely take centre stage. A cut of meat worthy of the occasion.

Luckily for you, dear reader, we have you covered with a collection of our favourite cuts for Easter feasting.

Whilst the idea of eating spring lamb at Easter is something of a seasonal myth, it is still a delicious thing to be cooking at this time of year, particularly alongside the first real signs of spring. Think peas, broad beans, Jersey Royals and perhaps even some early asparagus. Cook them simply, toss them in butter and fold through a little chopped wild garlic.

Easter Roasts & Spring Pairings

A roasted rolled leg of lamb would sit proudly beside such a platter. Or, if the weather is kind, a butterflied leg of lamb cooked over charcoal is a wonderful thing. Just don’t forget the gravy.

Of course, lamb is not the only path to Easter glory. A roasted beef rump with potato and cep gratin and a parmesan salad makes a magnificent centrepiece. A sirloin chop with a warm Jersey Royal salad is simplicity itself and perfect for the season.

And for something a little different, try a spatchcocked chicken marinated overnight with garlic, oregano, Espelette pepper and plenty of olive oil. Roast it hot until the skin crisps beautifully, then use the roasting juices to dress a simple rice pilaf or salad. Add a bowl of minted yoghurt and a well dressed green salad and you have a feast worthy of the long weekend.
