Easter Feast Recipe Round-Up

Need some additive-free Easter recipe inspiration? Here’s 15 of our fave recipes we love to cook when we all get together over the Easter weekend.

Hot Cross Buns

It can’t be Easter without hot cross buns right? A quick glance at the ingredient’s list of supermarket bought hot cross buns and you will find a whole heap of additives. They’re really not hard to make and they will taste so much better when you know exactly what’s in them.

Indian Pumpkin Soup

A simple winter warming recipe that is great for lunches and dinners alike with no MSG or flavours like store-bought and it’s on the table in under half an hour.

Easy Quiche

This is one of our go-to recipes that we make all the time and it is a great entertaining recipe too.  You can literally put whatever you want into a quiche, it’s so versatile. Plus it’s tasty no matter the weather.

Herb Crusted Salmon

Wait until you try this herb crusted salmon, seriously, just wait!!! A blender or thermomix is all you need to make the crumb and then a frying pan or BBQ and you’re good to go.

Salmon Patties with Homemade Tartare

Salmon patties are a classic family fave and a great way to get good omega fatty acids into our bodies.  They’re also a quick Good Friday dinner for those who abstain from red meat on this day.

Lemon and Garlic Roasted Drumsticks

These chicken drumsticks are full of flavour and super easy to make. Serve with the pumpkin and halloumi salad for a mouth-watering meal.

Slow-Cooked Mexican Pulled Pork

This can be easily prepared the day before it’s needed and kept in the fridge until the next day and served either hot or cold.

Seasoned Lamb Cutlets with Mashed Potato and Veg

You can cook these either in a frying pan or on the BBQ, whatever cooking station you have free on the day.

Cottage Pie

Another easy recipe that can be made the day before if needed.

Sweet Potato Chips

These make the perfect side dish to any of the mains in this recipe round-up.

Pumpkin and Halloumi Salad

A crowd favourite as a side dish or on its own. It is super easy to make, and you can make up a batch in advance, then enjoy with your Easter feast.

Citrus Chicken Salad

This salad is a little different in it’s flavour combination, however, the flavours actually work well together, we don’t know how but they just do!

Potato Salad

It is so easy to make, you can double the recipe if needed (in fact you can make as much as you like really). Perfect for family gatherings.  Add some shredded chicken instead of diced bacon for a twist.

Apple Crumble

This is a true family favourite. It also freezes really well, so you could make it in advance if needed. You could also easily double this recipe making it perfect for an Easter Feast for feeding a crowd.

Lemon Tarts

This is actually a combination of two of our favourite recipes – Lemon Butter and Sweet Vanilla Pastry. You can make mini tarts as shown in the photo, or one large tart for a dinner party, either way, this recipe will be a show stopper.

We hope you have a wonderful Easter, no matter what that looks like for you.
