Ham or Lamb? Dad Cooks Easter Dinner 2016
Grilled Ham with Honey Bourbon Glaze
Ham or Lamb? What do you cook on Easter? Spring lamb is the answer for most families. My wife’s family loves ham – they don’t think it’s a holiday unless there’s a ham on the table. My family’s tradition is a little different – steaks grilled late at night, after the Easter vigil mass. Diane and I have a mix of both, now – steak on Easter Eve, ham on Easter.
If you’re responsible for Easter Dinner, here are a few Dad Cooks Dinner recipes to get you going. Ham, Lamb…and a steak. They are all grilling recipes – regardless of the weather, I consider Easter the start of the grilling season. 1
 | Rotisserie Ham with Orange and Honey Glaze I love ham on the rotisserie – I get the best crackling skin that way. |
 | Grilled Ham with Honey Bourbon Glaze (picture at the top of the post) If you don’t have a rotisserie, or don’t want to go through the extra effort, ham on the grill is almost as good – which means it is fantastic. |
 | Rotisserie Fresh Ham with Injection Brine Fresh ham is not what I consider “ham”. Forget pink, cured meat; this is a leg of pork roast. (Which may be a good think, if you prefer the taste of roast pork to cured ham.) |
 | Rotisserie Whole Leg of Lamb with Orange and Fennel Dry Brine All the ham recipes are impressive, sure. But this whole, bone-in leg of lamb will really wow your guests. |
 | Grilled Butterflied Leg of Lamb, Dry Brined This is my quick lamb recipe – boneless, butterflied leg of lamb is easy to grill, slice, and serve. |
 | Grilled T-Bone Steaks with Mediterranean Marinade This is my Easter Eve meal – grilled T-Bone steaks. I can taste them already… |
Happy Easter, everyone!

Especially with this year’s mild winter. I’m more worried about a rain out on Easter than a snowstorm.↩

My rain chances for Easter just went down, so I’m going to try the grilled butterflied leg of lamb. This post made me do it. Will serve with tzatziki, tabouleh, and pita bread. Maybe some Greek style potatoes too.
Sounds great! Good luck with the weather.
Gonna do a ham soon. Need to remember that ham, turkey and prime rib roasts are great anytime, not just holidays. So easy and so versatile……….
