Your Easter/Passover menu?

Easter here. I have a quarter ham well wrapped in the coldest part of the fridge [we are a small party this year, and quarters go fast around here.]

I have a Rachel Khoo potato recipe that I've made once, loved, and I want to tweak a little.

I really want a lot of veg, but am still considering what to buy. Asparagus? Green beans? Carrots? Beets? a salad? Go traditional [begone, Jello Salad :)] or go different??

Please tell me what you're planning to serve.

Salad: Tomato aspic with a halved hard-cooked quail egg on lettuce. Main: Roast half-leg of lamb (herbs to coat per Jerry Traunfeld's Herbfarm Cookbook), potatoes gratineed with scallions, steamed asparagus or wilted spinach. Dessert: lemon curd tartlet.

I am planning Ina Garten's Easy Provençal Lamb, an eggplant gratin with herbs and creme fraiche, maybe roasted whole fingerling potatoes, butter lettuce with a meyer lemon dressing. For dessert, pavlova - it's strawberry season where I live.

What is the Rachel Khoo potato recipe?

Do you have a farmers market near you where you can pick up some seasonal vegetables?

Oh wow, these all sound terrific, and thank you.

Here's the potato nest recipe - I did not weigh the ingredients, just took some educated guesses at amounts; it worked fine.

And I live in Southern California, so it's farmers market most Sunday mornings for us.
