One of the best parts around Easter is undeniably a large piece of lamb – miserable, succulent and delicious – in the middle of the table. The lamb can be playful and dry, especially if it's bad. However, with a thoughtful preparation, the lamb can be a delicious, gentle and mild piece of meat, only with the right amount of playfulness. Below you will find nine favorite lambs at the Easter table, including a stunning crown of roasted lamb and a slow -roasted lamb leg rubbed with fragrant rosemary and garlic.
