Entree - Roast Lamb - Cordero Asado or Lamb Chops - Chuletas de Cordero: Cordero Asado - Roasted Lamb with lots of garlic is a great main course for Easter, especially since spring is the time of year lambs give birth.

Potatoes a la Importancia - Patatas a la Importancia: Patatas a la ImportanciaThese “important” potatoes are rich and flavorful and will be a big hit at the table and will go well with the tender and juicy roast lamb.
