What is a traditional French Easter dish?
They make a cake ,Simnel, and cover with marzipan and lightly grill it, it then has 11 marzipan balls put on top to signify the 11 Apostles( They may put mini sugar eggs on top instead) There really are no traditional Easter dishes in France, but lamb is often cooked. Many people will prepare a gigot d’agneau (leg of lamb) or perhaps, weather permitting, enjoy their first barbecue of the year with les brochettes d’agneau (skewered lamb). If you too would like to enjoy lamb on Easter Sunday, I highly recommend this French lamb stew recipe called Navarin. It is ideally prepared with spring vegetables, making it the perfect dish for the occasion.
