Easter is one of the most important Christian celebrations. Nevertheless, Easter is not just a religious event but also an occasion to enjoy some of the best lamb recipes at your Easter lamb dinner.
In many countries, one of the main ingredients used to cook food for Easter dinner is lamb. Since Easter is celebrated in Spring, there is available the fabulous spring lamb meat. Spring lamb offers the most delicate meat because it does not have time to accumulate fat, hence it has a fantastic taste!
Spring lamb is one of my favorite ingredients to cook food not just for Easter dinner, but also for the entire spring season. I like lamb meat in any way including soup, roast, paprikash, schnitzel, and so on.
Best Lamb Recipes for Easter Dinner
Below are some of the best lamb recipes that I use most often for the Easter lamb dinner. The list includes lamb soup recipes, roast leg of lamb recipes, lamb paprikash recipes, lamb schnitzel recipes, and more.
1. Fried lamb liver with green onions
This is an appetizer recipe, but fried lamb liver can be served also as a main dish. As I already mentioned above, spring lamb has a very delicate flavor and its liver doesn’t make an exception.
Shortly, the liver is cubed and fried together with chopped spring onions. This is an excellent appetizer to pamper your guests joining your Easter table.
