Easter Menu: Spring Lamb Dinner
Inspired by the flavors of a classic Italian Easter celebration this menu features a Herb Roasted Leg of Lamb and perfectly paired appetizers and sides.
This spring holiday menu centers around a richly flavored boneless leg of lamb seasoned with a fresh herb paste made with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
Like the main course, the appetizers and side dishes are inspired by Italian cuisine and the dessert is a classic ricotta pie, an Italian-style cheesecake that has been a reader favorite for years.
