Easter Menu · Thyme for Cooking

I haven't been tagged in a meme for ages – and how could I resist playing when the purpose is to create and Easter Menu.

Suzanne, of You Made That?, tagged me for this. Check out her Easter Menu here.

We're meant to create an Easter Menu from our past posts…. so here goes:

For starters – well, it's Easter. there are all those hard-boiled eggs…..

Chickpea, Egg and Herb Salad with Parmesan Palmiers

For the main course it would have to be my favorite lamb recipe:

Slow Roasted Moroccan Leg of Lamb

I originally roasted potatoes with the lamb, but I think Easter requires something a little more special….Something more spring-like….

Potatoes with Green Garlic and Prosciutto

We have to have asparagus – it's spring!

Asparagus with Tarragon Yogurt Sauce

We'll combine the salad and cheese courses with this simple Lettuce and Goat Cheese Salad

Rhubarb Parfait for dessert?

Ah yes, I'm supposed to tag some more people… Short notice, I know, but if you have time:

Gluten-Free, Delightfully Delicious

Zoomie Station

More Than Burnt Toast

Mele Cotte

Happy Easter!

Oh yes…. my bunny

You do know the ears are the best part, right?

That tarragon yogurt sauce looks amazing! You could probably put that on any veggie dish!

Whooo boy! The slow-roasted leg of lamb is the one for me today. I’d go for the rhubarb parfait but my rhubarb is just coming up over here.
While bunny ears are good, I am addicted to those those peanut butter chocolate eggs. Yes I know that they’re not fine French chocolate, but they have everything I need.
Happy Easter Katie.

Ina, sounds delicious – kale? Yum! Never see it here. I love rhubarb – have it most days for lunch.
Chung-Ah Rhee, it’s good on almost anything, actually ;-))
manningroad, sorry – you’re meant to post a menu for Easter based on recipes from your own blog – if you feel like it, that is…
Joanne, well, we eat late enough that you can probably be here on time LOL
brassfrog, I love peanut butter eggs – forgot about them… Can’t get them here. Something else for the family to bring for me when they come next month. I’ll suffer with chocolate ears for now.

I would eat the ears first too. Your menu sounds delicious Kate. I know I’d have to have a ham thrown in there somewhere wirth curried pears since I never get to cook for a crowd and what goes better with ham than scallopped potatoes.

Your menu looks great, I had a hard time since I’m such a dessert girl. Your asparagus looks so yummy, I must try that. Thanks for playing along.

Val, the ears are the best part… Oh, curried pears…. And I love scalloped potatoes.
Suzanne, you’re welcome – and I love your desserts!
