This Easter, bring restaurant-level flavor to your table with three stunning dishes that are festive, hearty, and surprisingly simple to make.

Flaky Flounder Quiche with Roasted Peppers

Start your feast with a rich and creamy quiche featuring tender flounder and the sweetness of roasted peppers. It’s elegant yet comfortingly familiar.

Whisk together 4 beaten eggs, 100ml each of heavy cream and coconut milk, chopped roasted peppers, and a pinch of salt and white pepper. Pour half into a homemade pie crust, layer with 180g of flounder strips, and cover with the rest of the mixture. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 30 minutes, until set and golden. Let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges.

Spiced Tuna & Lamb Kavaabu Croquettes

For a Maldivian-inspired appetizer, try Kavaabu—crispy croquettes packed with bold, aromatic flavors.

Mix 30g each of minced tuna and lamb with 20g roasted coconut, chopped onions, minced garlic and ginger, curry leaves, one egg, and breadcrumbs. Spice it up with roasted ground cumin, fenugreek, dry chili, and season with salt and black pepper. After shaping into small croquettes, chill briefly before frying them golden in hot oil. They’re bite-sized, bold, and addictive.

Tangerine-Glazed Roast Chicken

The main event? A whole roasted chicken infused with citrusy, buttery goodness that’ll have your guests reaching for seconds.

Rub a whole chicken with a blend of 250g softened butter, 20g fresh thyme, 20g minced garlic, salt, pepper, and optional paprika—don’t forget under the skin. Roast at 390°F (200°C) for 45-50 minutes. Meanwhile, simmer a glaze of tangerine juice, maple syrup, mustard, and zest until thick. Baste the bird every 10-15 minutes for a lacquered finish. Let it rest before carving, then serve with your go-to sides.

These dishes don’t just taste amazing—they turn Easter into a celebration worth remembering.
