Arguably one of the fanciest dinners of the year, Easter dinner is the time to pull out all the stops! After hunting down all of the Easter eggs and digging through the Easter baskets, everyone will gather for a delicious meal that only happens once a year. Impress your loved ones with one of the following tasty dishes.
Our Easter dinner roundup wouldn’t be complete without a ham recipe! But this isn’t your average holiday ham with premade glaze. This tasty pork dish uses the mouthwatering flavors of orange, Dijon mustard and brown sugar to create an irresistible salty-sweet flavor. Pair this Easter classic with more classic dishes, like a spring green salad and cheesy scalloped potatoes.
Seafood is an easy win for Easter dinner: it cooks quickly and feels fancy without a lot of effort. Even picky eaters will be a fan of the simple flavors of lemon and garlic. Bonus: you can roast asparagus in the same pan for an easy and tasty side dish!
Leg of Lamb with Mint Gremolata
If you really want to impress on Easter Sunday, you know lamb is the way to go! This dish is packed full of flavor and makes a stunning centerpiece for your Easter dinner. The mint gremolata (fancy word for herb paste) brings in a fresh flavor that highlights the savory lamb. If you’re pressed for time on Easter Sunday, good news: You can prep this one up to three days in advance, which makes it even more flavorful!
Slow-Roasted Chicken with Honey-Glazed Carrots
Carrots aren’t just for the Easter bunny! The side dish (carrots and other veggies) cooks right along with the entree in this handy little recipe. Don’t worry about drying out the chicken with this slow-roasting method; keeping the lid on the pot traps in moisture, and you crisp up the chicken skin in the oven later. If you have a fancy Dutch oven dish, now is the time to break it out. It’s perfect for cooking and serving this dish.
It doesn’t have to be all about the meat! If you’re searching for a vegetarian Easter dinner, this risotto is the way to go. The in-season spring vegetables really shine, adding freshness and brightness to this warm comfort food dish. If you’re worried about the technique behind the risotto, don’t be; this simple recipe walks you through it step by step.
One of these five stunning dishes would look perfect on your table this Easter! You can pick up all of the Easter essentials at our store, including ingredients for any of these recipes.
