One of the best parts about Easter is, arguably, the big piece of lamb—impressive, succulent, and delicious—at the center of the table.

Below, you’ll find our nine favorite lamb recipes for the Easter table, including an impressive crown roast of lamb and a slow-roasted leg of lamb rubbed with fragrant rosemary and garlic.
