My fam is vegetarian (well mixed now with Meatie spouses who eat lamb for Easter and goose for Christmas) and we usually have roasted potatoes and another tray of roasted beets, carrots, onion, and parsnips. We also have mashed potatoes, peas, Yorkshire puddings, veggie gravy, and sometimes roasted or boiled Brussel sprouts or boiled purple cabbage. We eat a lot. :)</p> <p>Nut loaf is a nice side. Sort of like meat loaf I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2501293 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 07:02:49 +0000 Pancakes 2501293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus is our usual veg with lamb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2501285 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 06:49:04 +0000 looch 2501285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone once suggested a carrot souffle, I've never tried it but it always remains in the back of my mind.</p> <p>What about a risotto instead of potatoes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2501234 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 01:08:16 +0000 gingerbebe 2501234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These potatoes: </p> <p><a href="http://damndelicious.net/2016/01/05/slow-cooker-greek-potatoes/" rel="nofollow">http://damndelicious.net/2016/01/05/slow-cooker-greek-potatoes/</a></p> <p>Roasted asparagus (just toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper), topped with a homemade mustard vinaigrette once out of the oven.

We always have it with roast potatoes with lemon juice &amp; oregano, or a nice rice pilaf. Bonus garlic points if you are serving it with tzatziki and a nice tangy salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2501118 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 19:17:16 +0000 Tanjowen 2501118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Garlic mashed red potatoes, roasted carrots and asparagus with a nice big salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2501116 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 19:13:03 +0000 Alba4 2501116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made prosciutto- wrapped asparagus before that was delicious. I'd do something springy. Roasted potatoes would be nice too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2500920 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 13:18:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 2500920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do roasted fingerling potatoes and asparagus. Mint jelly, but I prefer a mustard sauce with mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2500881 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 11:58:52 +0000 Cherrybee 2500881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love new potatoes, leeks and dark green cabbage with lamb - they go beautifully with mint sauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2500845 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 09:49:56 +0000 Truth Bombs 2500845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm Greek so we always have lamb at Easter (but with lots of garlic, not mint jelly 😝). We serve with spanikopita. It's a lot of work to make but soooo delicious, you can also buy pre made spanikopita. The frozen triangles from Costco are surprisingly good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2500796 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 07:34:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2500796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always like mashed potatoes at a holiday meal. I think a dark green like creamed or sautéed spinach would be good. And carrots are popular for Easter. DH really likes lamb and likes mint sauce with it- sauce, not jelly. Im actually not a huge lamb fan myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2500795 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 07:31:15 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2500795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fingerling potatoes, roasted carrots asparagus </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easter-dinner-dilemma-what-goes-with-lamb#post-2500793 Sun, 20 Mar 2016 07:29:49 +0000 honeybear 2500793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help a vegetarian out! :silly: </p> <p>I would love to hear about your favorite green veg, other veg (maybe carrot?), and starchy sides! If you've got an amazing dessert idea, I won't say no to that, either. :happy: </p>
