Chef John's Roasted Leg of Lamb
I've done more than a few lamb dishes dedicated to Easter but inexplicably have never posted one for a whole leg of lamb. It's a classic Easter menu option, and when prepared using this method, it makes for a very user-friendly hunk of meat.
Napa Cabbage Salad
This is a yummy, crunchy napa cabbage salad with toasted ramen noodles and almond slivers. The bowl is always licked clean at potlucks!
Thera's Canadian Fried Dough
This beaver tails dessert is popular in Canada, especially in Ottawa, Ontario. Also known as pigs' ears, this whole wheat pastry is fried and covered in an assortment of goodies. I have perfected the recipe, so my friends and I no longer go out to get them โ I just make them at home. Enjoy, eh!
