These Easter Dinner Recipes Will Soon Become Instant Classics In Your Household

The most important decision to make during Easter? What's for dinner! Are you swaying towards a more traditional menu with dishes like Roast Lamb or Glazed Ham, or are you tempted to do something different with your main meal. Maybe a Hasselback Shepherd's Pie, or Lancashire Hotpot. Either way, there's so many delicious-tasting recipes for you to try during the Easter period (check out our faves in the next slides).

Need some side-dish inspo? We've got lots of easy to make Easter Side Dishes, too.

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?)

Braising lamb shanks might sound a little intimidating, but honestly, it couldn't be easier. After a quick sear, the oven does all the work for you! You'll have the most tender, fall-off-the-bone lamb for the most comforting dinner you've had all year!

If you're not glazing your ham in a sweet-syrupy mixture of Dr. Pepper and pineapple juice, you're doing it wrong.

We love Cumberland pie, it's carby, meaty, cheesy and crispy all in one big dish. But there are some misconceptions with a Cumberland pie. Some people think it's basically the same as cottage pie (beef mince and mashed potato), but it's so much more than that...

This twist on a shepherds pie has a deliciously addictive crispy and cheesy Hasselback topping. Serve with steamed greens and you've got yourself a winning dinner.

You can't get much more comforting than a gorgeous Lancashire hotpot. The traditional British stew, hailing from the North West of England consists of chunks of lamb, topped with sliced potatoes (and we've thrown in cheese for good measure).

Pork can be intimidating to cook because it has a bad rep for being bland and boring. But if you cook it right, it can be extremely good. Good enough for a spot on your Sunday roast table in fact.

A roasted rack of lamb is the perfect showstopper, especially when it comes to Easter dinner. Because working with lamb meat isn't something people do often, it can seem intimidating. But trust us, it's really simple.

Roast beef might sound fancy and complicated to make, but it's actually quite simple! With a good piece of meat and some simple herbs, you can have roast beef that's way more tender and flavourful than the store-bought kind.

Intimidated by a whole chicken? Don't be! It's surprisingly easy to make, and there's nothing better than roast chicken leftovers. Great on salads and in sandwiches.

A roasted leg of lamb is the perfect centrepiece for a special occasion meal. Preparing an expensive cut of meat like this one can be anxiety-inducing, but we promise, YOU CAN DO THIS! Even prepared super simply, it can be incredibly delicious.

Glazed ham is an absolute staple at the dinner table. And nailing it is way easier than you’d think. Spiral sliced hams are pre-cooked, so you don’t have to stress about getting it to a precise temperature. The key here is keeping it moist and adding lots of flavour.
