Easter Recipe Inspiration
1. Traditional Roast Lamb with Rosemary & Garlic

A succulent roast lamb is a staple for Easter Sunday. Pick up a quality cut of local lamb from our butchery, perfectly paired with farm-fresh rosemary, garlic, and seasonal vegetables.
Ingredients:
1 leg of locally sourced lamb
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
Seasonal root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, potatoes)
Method:
Preheat your oven to 180°C.
Make small incisions in the lamb and insert slices of garlic and sprigs of rosemary.
Rub the lamb with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the lamb in a roasting tray with chopped root vegetables.
Roast for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes (or until cooked to your liking).
Let the meat rest before carving and serving.
2. Hot Cross Scones

A fusion on the hot cross bun and a Cornish classic, these scones are packed with spice and fruit, using Boscastle Farm Shop’s fresh eggs and dairy.

50g mixed dried fruit

Method:
Preheat your oven to 200°C.

Stir in the sugar, fruit, and spices.
Whisk the egg with milk, then add to the dry ingredients to form a dough.
Roll out to 2cm thick and cut into rounds.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
Serve warm with clotted cream and jam.
