EASY EASTER RECIPES FOR FAMILY GATHERINGS

Easter is the perfect time to gather family and friends around the table and enjoy comforting, homemade food. Whether you’re planning a traditional Sunday lunch or a relaxed get-together, simple and flavourful recipes can make your celebration both special and stress-free.

At Delícias UK, we proudly bring Portuguese and Brazilian food traditions to the UK, while welcoming everyone who loves good food — no matter their background. Here are some easy Easter recipe ideas that combine tradition, convenience, and crowd-pleasing flavours.

  1. Easy Roast Lamb with Garlic & Rosemary

A classic Easter favourite across many cultures, roast lamb is simpler to prepare than you might think.

You’ll need:

Leg of lamb

Garlic cloves

Fresh rosemary

Olive oil

Salt & pepper

Simply season the lamb with garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast until tender. Serve with roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables for a traditional Easter centrepiece that never fails.

Tip: Add sautéed spinach on the side for extra colour and flavour.

  1. Bacalhau à Brás (Portuguese Shredded Cod)

A beloved Portuguese dish, Bacalhau à Brás is perfect for feeding a family and adds a traditional touch to your Easter table.

You’ll need:

Salt cod (bacalhau), soaked and shredded

Onions

Thin-cut fries

Eggs

Parsley & olives

Sauté onions and cod, mix in fries, and gently fold through beaten eggs until creamy. Finish with parsley and olives. It’s comforting, flavourful, and surprisingly easy to prepare.

  1. Brazilian-Style Creamy Chicken Pie

For something slightly different but equally comforting, try a Brazilian-inspired creamy chicken pie (Empadão de Frango). With a rich chicken filling and golden crust, it’s ideal for sharing.

It can be prepared in advance, making it perfect for busy family gatherings.

  1. Spinach & Ricotta Puff Pastry Tart

Looking for a vegetarian option? A spinach and ricotta tart is quick, delicious, and ideal as a side dish or light main.

Using ready-rolled puff pastry and quality spinach makes preparation effortless while delivering great flavour. It’s a fantastic addition to any multicultural Easter table in the UK.

  1. Sweet Treats: Folar, Colomba & Chocolate Desserts

No Easter celebration is complete without something sweet.

Folar da Páscoa brings Portuguese tradition to the table.

Colomba Pascal adds a soft, festive Brazilian touch.

Chocolate desserts and Easter eggs delight both children and adults alike.

Pair with coffee or tea for a perfect ending to your Easter meal.

Bringing Everyone Together

One of the most beautiful things about celebrating Easter in the UK is the blend of cultures around the table. You might have roast lamb alongside bacalhau, hot cross buns next to folar, and chocolate eggs from different traditions — and that’s what makes it special.

At Delícias UK, we’re proud to offer authentic Portuguese and Brazilian products that help you recreate traditional recipes, while inspiring new ones for the whole community.

Because Easter isn’t just about tradition — it’s about sharing, flavour, and creating memories together.

Wishing you a joyful and delicious Easter from all of us at Delícias UK.
