Easter is such a lovely time to get together with family and friends.

So we thought that if you’ve got any plans to entertain over the long weekend, a few special recipes might be handy.  We’ve looked for a mix of seafood and meat – is there a MoM recipe you think is missing?  Or one of your own we should add?

Happy Easter long weekend everyone; we hope the time with your family (or just a lovely 4 day break) is exactly what you need to recharge!

Sesame and shallot egg pots

These Sesame and Shallot Egg Pots are perfect for a breakfast for two – or twenty. Serve with a side of bacon, sausages, balsamic mushrooms or just a few drops of tabasco or soy and away you go.

Vietnamese prawn rice paper rolls

Grab a glass of wine, lay out some beautiful fresh prawns, heaps of fresh coriander (and mint if you like) and roll away! If your kids are anything like mine, there won’t be many rice paper rolls that actually make it to the platter – they eat them as we make them!

Lemon Fish

If you go meat free on Good Friday, this is the perfect dish!  Easy to prepare, beautifully fresh and tasty and very low in fat. Delicious!

Slow Roasted Pork Belly with Valli Little

There’s nothing more special on Easter Sunday than having family and friends around for a Roast! This Slow Roasted Pork Belly from Valli Little is an all time favourite in our house.

 Soft boiled eggs, wilted greens and chorizo sprinkle on Stone Baked Ciabatta

What a yummy way to start any day of the Easter long weekend. How tasty would that Chorizo sprinkle be (I could eat a bowlful!)

 Savoury pikelets

Pop out a platter of these and they will be gobbled up in seconds.  A really filling little appetiser … or make the pikelets just a little larger and they’ll be a meal in themselves.

Zoe’s Thai fish cakes and stir-fry vegetables with dipping sauce

Something a little bit different but certainly delicious.  Whip up a batch of these and you’ll have lunches, snacks and even dinners sorted all weekend.

Macadamia crusted Salmon with Macadamia Couscous

Who doesn’t love a slab of fresh salmon?  So tasty and so good for you.  Make it a little bit special with the addition of toasted macadamias on top and through the cous cous salad. Crunch … YUM!

These are just a few of the very special recipes we have in MoM Recipes – there are literally thousands of recipes in there.  Have an explore and have some fun.  Most importantly have a safe and HAPPY EASTER LONG WEEKEND!

Much love,

El from the MoM Team x
