Celebrate with an EASTER FEAST
‘Give your Easter lamb roast a fresh twist with tangy Persian flavours, served with aromatic-spiced vegetables’
Roast crown of lamb with jewelled rice
We’ve harvested Persian flavours to create a tangy twist on the traditional Easter roast. The crown of lamb makes a comeback: all hail the king! Our rice is packed full of seeds and crispy onions, which not only make it a great side dish, but also a fabulous base for salads with any leftovers. It’s actually very simple to prepare. We bought our lamb crown from The Ginger Pig. They offer a delivery service around the UK. Lamb crown is also seasonally available from supermarkets and local butchers.
