From Roast Lamb, To Pineapple Ham & Everything In Between, Here's Our Fave Easter Recipes (2024)

Roasting lamb is just as easy, if not easier, than roasting a chicken. Seriously, all you need to do is rub lamb shoulder with a mixture of fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil and throw it in the oven for an hour or so. Bonus points if you roast the meat on top of a bed of potatoes. (And why wouldn't you?)

Here at Delish, we think pork chops get a bad rap. Maybe it has something to do with all the dry, overcooked chops we were served as kids—but it doesn't have to be that way. Pork chops have the potential to be juicy, tender, and flavourful, really!

Don't be intimidated by its beauty (and size). Beef tenderloin is actually insanely easy to make, thanks to a marinade made up of ingredients you probably already have and a surprisingly quick cook time. If you only want to use rosemary (or thyme), that's fine. Just double up on whichever herb you're using.

A whole salmon en croûte is a fantastic dinner party centrepiece, but often the lashings of full-fat cream cheese and all-butter puff pastry puts people off if they're looking for a healthier meal to make. This is where our healthy salmon en croûte comes in.
