Giada De Laurentiis Has the Perfect Easter Main Course for People Who Don't Like Ham
Easter is full of a few things; bunnies, eggs, and, of course, ham. But wait — what if you aren’t a ham lover?! Don’t worry, there are a ton of ham-free easter dishes you can make this year to satisfy your ham-hating taste buds, and Giada De Laurentiis just shared one: a delicious-sounding Italian springtime lamb recipe that’s sure to impress your family.
On March 26, De Laurentiis shared a mouth-watering photo of her meaty recipe with the caption, “This festive leg of lamb is stuffed with a decadent sweet and savory filling, and it’s perfect for Easter – or any special occasion!”
If you’re wondering what, exactly, this lamb is stuffed with, let us answer that right off the bat: It’s a mixture of whole-grain mustard and baby spinach. The gremolata is composed of panko breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon zest, and kosher salt, to name a few.
Altogether, it adds a delicious citrusy and heat-filled crunch to the lamb. Now, De Laurentiis recommends using Il Sole Extra Virgin Olive Oil for the lamb, along with some sumptuous Kazzen Red Peppers Flakes.
This is a time-consuming recipe, taking three hours to prep and cook, but as with most holiday meals, spending some extra time in the kitchen is to be expected. And honestly: This recipe seems so worth the effort. We have a feeling your family will fall in love with this spring lamb as soon as they get a taste of the tender, flavorful meat.
