Easter Dinner

The default thing is roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, scalloped potatoes, and asparagus. Hmmm... same old, or something different...?

I don't know of a recipe for scalloped potatoes that doesn't use flour in the sauce!

But (she says, responding to her own comment) I don't know why you couldn't use matzoh flour instead of ordinary flour, if that would appease the rebbes.
In which case, Google on "scalloped potatoes" -- they all say pretty much the same things.

what about the lamb? :)

Take a nice piece of lamb. Smear liberally with chopped garlic, and/or insert slivers of garlic into slits in the meat. Sprinkle with leaves of fresh rosemary. Roast. (For time/temperature numbers, see JOY OF COOKING or other standard cookbook.)

If it's boneless leg of lamb, I will usually take off the net that confines the meat, and tie it up with just a piece or two of cotton twine before roasting. Then I don't loose all the garlicky crust when I take off the net.
