Easter lamb recipes
Planning to cook lamb on Easter Sunday but not sure which recipe to pick? You’re sure to find the perfect Easter lunch dish in our collection of tried-and-tested lamb recipes.
Whether you’re planning a blow-out Easter Sunday roast with all the trimmings, or an intimate lunch for immediate family, you’ll find the right lamb recipe on these pages.
For classic roast lamb, try this slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or roast leg of lamb with all the trimmings. You’ll need roasties and seasonal spring sides to serve with your spectacular lamb centrepiece. Find them all in our main Easter recipes hub.
Roast lamb is a celebration dish in many countries. For a change from classic British flavours, why not try Greek stuffed lamb leg with white beans? Add a little heat to your lunch with Moroccan-spiced lamb shoulder, or try Jose Pizzaro’s Spanish spin on slow-cooked lamb, with sherry and olives.
Easter lamb dishes don’t need to be roasts, either. How about French chef Pierre Koffmann’s elegant lamb stew with the ultimate mash? Or a low-stress, make-ahead lamb tagine? Both perfect for simmering on a low heat on Easter morning while you’re busy with the egg hunt.
We’ve even thrown in a few delicious Easter lamb recipes for using up leftover roast lamb. Happy Easter weekend!
