1. Braised Lamb
Who doesn’t love braises for lunch? Not only are they very easy to make you can make some beforehand and just warm them up when you’re ready to eat.
As a growing child whenever my mum made lamb shanks, I would rush off to the bathroom and have my hands thoroughly washed because for no reason would I enjoy my favourite meal using cutleries.
All you have to do is seasoned merely your lamb shanks with salt and pepper then proceed to brown them in hot oil to create a nice crust.
Once that is done you will then proceed to cook the meat in a sauce of crushed tomatoes garlic onions carrots and red wine until the meat begins to fall off the bone. You can serve this with potato hash and Crème Fraîche.
2. Roasted lamb leg with carrots beets and sweet onions
Roasted lamb is a straightforward dish that you can even leave your teenager to prepare because it is simple.
Not everyone has the time to make a complicated dish even though it is the perfect Easter recipe. Merely have your meat seasoned and allow it to rest for 12 hours. The most challenging part is getting the robe ready.
Once you put your meat in the oven, be rest assured that your family would be amazed by the flavours and aroma of fresh oregano and rosemary as they walked through your kitchen.
The roasted carrots, beets, and sweet onions are the best companions. If you would like to really enhance the flavour of this dish, then you would have to focus on sweet baby beets and carrots they can also double as a garnish.
3. Sweet-hot plum-glazed Ham
When it comes to southern easter dinner tables, then you might already know that Ham is a staple.
This is one recipe that takes that classic and provides it with an entirely new twist. You can think of this recipe you can think of this recipe as one that provides your family with the flavours of spring while they eat.
Add some plum preserves with fresh citrus crushed red pepper and ginger to update the traditional Easter ham.
The lime juice and the orange juice are the perfect combinations of sweet and tart while the honey perfectly clings onto the pork and helps it bake into the ideal glaze.
I find it difficult to eat food without pepper so the red pepper would provide a hint of the right amount of heat. You can garnish this with tropical fruits like pineapple and kiwi to give it a beautiful look.
4. Rack of lamb with carrot salad
If you remember the three main points that will be mentioned below preparing rack of lamb will be straightforward.
- If you want the flavour of the lamb to come through, then it is best you season with only salt and pepper instead of marinating the meat.
- Set the lamb fat aside in a hot skillet then allow it to rest for a minute until it becomes brown. You would have to flip it again and let it brown then flip it one more time. This is a simple trick to help crisp up the fats and also give it a nice brown exterior at the same time preventing the edges from getting overcooked in the oven.
- The best way to stop your meat from tightening up and to allow it to come out very tender is to bake it at 300 degrees. It is also important that the hot air circulates the lamp which is why you have to put it on a wire rack.
