Straight from Greece! This recipe has been in my family for years - my Auntie showed me how to make it this Greek Easter - great with raw red peppers and pita chips.
I make this hearty soup using the ham bone from our Easter spiral ham. It makes a huge pot of soup, so invite some friends or just freeze several portions for later use.
An Easter tradition, these lightly sweetened cinnamon yeast buns feature tender little currants strewn throughout. An egg yolk wash gives these buns a browned, glossy finish, making a canvas for the namesake cross, a painting of milk and sugar icing.
These pretty pinwheel appetizers from Charlie Clutts of New Tazewell, Tennessee are easy to make and fun to nibble, with a yummy cream cheese filling that's layered with ham.
Sliced ham is layered in a casserole with pineapple and brown sugar then baked in ginger ale. My family does this every year with our Christmas Eve ham and it never fails to be anything but delicious! Scale it down and it will work to use up leftover ham too!
Start with a skillet and finish with a slow cooker. A saute of onion, garlic and ground beef is simmered with tomato and oregano, then layered in a slow cooker with raw lasagna noodles and a creamy blend of cottage cheese, Parmesan and mozzarella.
This sauce, using only garlic, salt, lemon juice, and oil, can be used as a condiment on grilled meats, as a salad dressing, and in dishes that require good garlic flavor.
Something of a chicken salad casserole, with rice, almonds, celery, and water chestnuts in a mayonnaise dressing. The almond and corn flake topping provides additional crunch. Bake ahead, as this freezes well.
Chris Lily from Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Decatur, Alabama creates an easy grilled roast. Great to serve for your summer parties. Serve with traditional side dishes like potato salad, coleslaw and cold watermelon.
