Italian Easter Lunch (a week later...)

What do people eat to celebrate Easter?

In Italy the traditional foods are: eggs, lamb (usually grilled or roasted), asparagus, colomba (="dove", it's a sweet bread, similar to panettone, shaped like a dove) and chocolate.

Here in Paris my studio is way too small to roast a whole lamb shoulder or bake an home-made colomba...but every year I manage to fix a nice Italian Easter Lunch.
This year I've twisted it with a French touch: instead of the eggs, Maigret de Canard on Spinach Sprouts as appetizer! But all the rest followed the tradition: Costolette d'Agnello Scottadito (="grilled lamb chops") with Steamed Asparagus and Sautéed Zucchini and a nice Easter Egg filled with Chocolates.

Take a look at the pictures and tell me if it doesn't look delicious!

I bought the Easter Egg at BENOIT CHOCOLATS (75, rue Saint-Antoine, 75004 Paris) and it was REALLY GOOD! Their CONCERTO  chocolate made them win in 2010 the prize for THE BEST GANACHE. Believe me, that ganache is almost heaven! You definitely should step into their shop if you are in Saint Paul one of these days....
