WHAT'S FOR DINNER: New Zealand Lamb for Easter, easy lamb recipes, Jack Crosti's burger, foodie podcasts

This week on What’s For Dinner? we picked the perfect leg of lamb recipe for your Easter celebrations at home, a selection of easy lamb recipes you can cook any time, Jack Crosti's burger cooking video and our favourite foodie podcasts.

Juicy lamb for Easter

While this Easter will be a strange one with each of us limited to our bubble and a level of uncertainty about the future, it's good to know that there are still familiar things around like our New Zealand lamb. Treat yourself to a good meal this Easter and try this roast lamb recipe. The lamb cooks on a bed of potatoes and leeks which allows the flavours to infuse together beautifully. This will go well with roast new potatoes and a fresh salad!

Cooking tip: Basting the lamb will keep it moist during roasting. We love using leftover lamb in sandwiches or salads the next day.

Easy lamb recipes you can cook any time

Lamb is perfect for any occasion, and this collection of recipes will make it easy for you to create delicious dishes from lamb on any given day. You might find your new go-to amongst tasty meals like the best lamb Wellingtons, our mince and feta galette or the quick and easy family pasta bake.

Note: Even though some of these meals might include 'beef' in the title, you will find that most of our recipes are extremely versatile and work well for both beef and lamb. Have a look at the suitable cuts we recommend for each recipe.
