What to barbecue for Easter
There are so many different ways to enjoy lamb, and as the ‘national meat’ of Australia Day, it’s a staple on any Aussie’s BBQ menu!
- Chicken and vegetable roasted skewers
- Grilled steak and lamb chops
- Juicy beef and chicken burgers
- Smoky ribs with a sticky BBQ sauce
- Grilled salmon with zesty lemon and fresh herbs
- Pulled pork sliders
- Honey soy chicken wings
And we could go on!
There are so many options, from the type of meat and its cut to the marinades, sauces, and side dishes, that make barbecues one of the best and most versatile ways to enjoy food.
An Easter Saturday barbecue is the perfect way to catch up with friends and family, enjoying a laid-back and fuss-free afternoon with those who mean the most.
What is traditionally eaten on Easter Sunday?
Nothing quite fills us with food nostalgia than the traditional Sunday Roast.
At this point, we’re three days into the weekend, and we’ve still got another up our sleeve.
So why not take the time on Sunday afternoon to delicately prepare a delicious roast for the whole family to enjoy?
Perfectly cooked potatoes, tonnes of oven-roasted veggies, and of course the star of the show – the roast.
Make this Sunday spectacular with whole leg lamb roasts and all the trimmings; a heartwarming, homemade meal to enjoy with your family.
Easter Monday
Monday has finally rolled around, and we’ve had so much fun cooking up a storm over the weekend! Today, you might not want to spend too much time in the kitchen.
But if you’ve got a few leftovers, there are a couple of easy lunches you can whip up in minutes.
Save today for leftovers (if you’ve got any!) for some tasty treats, including…
BBQ pulled pork
Enjoy a satisfying quesadilla with melted cheese and salsa.
Marinated chicken
Shred tasty chicken and use in a sandwich with avocado and tomato.
Beef or lamb
Create homemade gyros, wraps, or pita pockets with tzatziki and veggies.
Any other leftover meat
Combine meat, corn, rice, and salsa to create a hearty burrito bowl.
