This Easter will be a little different for most families.
Sure, we’ll still put up pastel decorations (great activity for the kids between then and now) and – of course – the Bunny very much plans on visiting. But certainly just about all of us will also be adapting and adjusting.
Still, there’s no reason why we can’t get together with our immediate loved-ones (from our household!) and mark the occasion.
And we reckon that a pretty gorgeous way to celebrate is with a perfect beef roast.
Don’t worry if you don’t feel that whipping up a seasonal spread is your forte – once you focus on high-quality, Irish produce you can absolutely get a feast in order that will probably have you vowing you’ll never eat out again (well, almost!).
Right now, Lidl is our go-to choice for Irish mums: lots of variety and plenty of options to impress the whole fam. Yup… there’s no finer way to celebrate Easter and at Lidl you’ll find everything you need to create the perfect roast dinner spread that will keep everyone happy. Sorted!
Make the beef your ultimate centre-piece and make sure that this Easter the celebrations are absolutely still in full-swing (social isolation or not).
Here are our instructions… and watch the video at the end too for tips and tricks to perfect your Easter lunch skills.
