Lamb On Easter Sunday?

[sunny-dave]

I hope everyone has got their order in with the Butcher - I've just rung and got "The Last Leg" ...

... I shall be studding mine with anchovies, marinating in a mustard and balsamic gunk and then roasting on Sunday.

Probably serving with cauli cheese, spring greens and the usual roast root veg.

Blimey I'm hungry now :)

what time would you like the ab'ers to arrive Dave?

I'll bring the beer.

[Prudie]

I've got mine but will just be basic roasting with rosemary from the garden, the cold leftovers on Monday will be the best bit though.

[humbersloop]

yes!

no marinade, studded with garlic and rosemary, onion sauce, cauli cheese essential

[Tilly2]

I've got mine, too. Rosemary and garlic for us. I'm going to make a ratatouille to go with it, along with asparagus and P.S.B...................oh and Jersey Royals.............and a bottle of Rioja.

[sunny-dave]

Cauli Cheese just goes so well with lamb, doesn't it sloopy :)

[humbersloop]

it's one of those perfect matches imo dave ;)

I have got a chicken

[237SJ]

I`ve never cooked it before as I don`t eat much red meat but am going to give it a go. I don`t know what I`m going to do with it yet but we`ll have roast potatoes, cabbage, sprouts, onion sauce and a bottle of Taittinger (£20 at Sainsburys - a bargain as it`s usually about £37)

[sunny-dave]

Thanks for the heads-up on the Taittinger, 237SJ - have started a fizz thread so that others see it.

Have you had your Titanic Dinner this year, Martine?

I just can't eat lamb at this time of year, too busy pulling the wee sods out of ewes to face eating one at the same time.

My youngest daughter will be 2 on Sunday so we will be having cake...

[tiggerblue10]

I have no idea what I'm having on Sunday. I'll probably be going to my parents for dinner but don't know what my mum has got in lunch. If I don't go to them it'll probably be a ready meal. I'm becoming more and more lazy when it comes to food and prepping it.

[237SJ]

I was just looking at lamb cooking tips on the internet and there was a recipe on bbc food for lamb with garlic and rosemary and red wine gravy. Would the garlic be a bit overpowering? Likewise - red wine gravy. I`ve only had that with beef. Does it work with lamb?

lovely bit of lamb from morrisons mmmm

[jennyjoan]

I am having whole chicken in a casserole - first time doing this - served with my own stuffing, creamed and roast potatoes. Also doing boiled peas.

Boiled about a pound of them last week - greedy sod that I was - had them with salt and vinegar on their own and with potatoes - did I suffer with wind. Sister had green cabbage of which I am not too fussed.

Surely Scrivens you could have a wee ready meal. JJCon

I bought a rack of lamb last week too (in the freezer) got the butcher to bone it and I had a cuppla chops from it (absolutely divine) - probably do it next Sunday after Easter.

I am enjoying Easter and not getting stressed out at all as I do with Xmas - no commercialism with it - just a few wee pressies to the kids - don't do Easter eggs for kiddies as they get too much and it hypes them up!!! JJCon
