Hello lovelies, today I have a quick Easter menu from the oven for you – made fast, very tasty and with fresh ingredients. The best thing: you only need the oven, which does almost all the work for you. I developed the menu in collaboration with Samsung* and the NV9000 Oven with Dual Cook Steam function, which can bake and steam at the same time: while the potatoes gently steam below, the vegetables roast above – so you save both time and energy. You can find more about the oven and its functions here on the blog.
My Easter menu is made up of two simple, vegan dishes that pair perfectly. Each one leads to its own page with all the amounts and steps:
1. Green asparagus with tomatoes, vegan feta and wild garlic pesto potatoes
Green asparagus goes onto the tray with cherry tomatoes, vegan feta, shallots and pine nuts, plus a drizzle of olive oil, a little maple syrup and lemon. The feta melts in the oven into a delicious sauce and the tomatoes add a sweet aroma. At the same time the potatoes steam gently below – a complete dish with almost no effort.

2. Vegan wild garlic pesto
The zesty wild garlic pesto gives the menu that final flavour kick and is blended in just ten minutes. Fresh wild garlic, toasted pine nuts, vegan parmesan, lemon and olive oil – that's all it takes. It's best made the day before, so there's even more time for the family on Easter day.

I hope I could inspire you to try a relaxed Easter menu – it went down a treat here and we'll definitely make it again soon. Serve it with a fresh salad and a light dessert and you have a fine, healthy menu that works wonderfully as an Easter brunch, too.
If you're looking for more spring ideas, try my creamy green asparagus soup with pistachio gremolata, the crisp asparagus tart with puff pastry or the wild garlic and arugula pesto with crispy potatoes.
Love, Verena
