Lekker easter vibes: Recipes, fun, and local flavour for the whole fam!

Ah, Easter in Mzansi… The time when the shops are filled with Easter eggs and hot cross buns, the weather’s perfect for a braai, and the kids are buzzing from all the chocolate. But why settle for just a regular ol’ Sunday when you can make this Easter 1 for the books? With some mouth-watering recipes, fun activities, and a good dose of South African humour, let’s make this an Easter to remember!

Easter lunch recipes with a local twist

Because boerewors is always a good idea.

Snoek braai with apricot glaze
You can’t get more South African than a snoek braai. This version has a sweet-and-sticky apricot glaze that’ll have everyone licking their fingers (and probably fighting over the last piece).

Ingredients:

  • 1 fresh snoek (ask your fishmonger to clean it, no need for drama)
  • ½ cup apricot jam (the more local, the better!)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Fresh coriander to serve (for that fancy touch)

Instructions:

  • Mix apricot jam, lemon juice, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Brush the snoek generously with the glaze.
  • Braai over medium coals until the skin is crispy and the fish is flaky.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander, if you’re feeling fancy.

Pro tip: Serve with roosterkoek and a side of potato salad. Or just grab a drink and eat it straight off the braai grid. No judgement.

Easter activities the mzansi way

The great Easter egg hunt (Mzansi Style)
Turn the classic egg hunt into an adventure by hiding the eggs in hilarious places… Like under the garden gnome or inside the braai tongs. Add a twist by putting dares or jokes inside the eggs. (Example: ‘Do the chicken dance on the spot!’)

Bunny ears and boerie rolls
Why not make it a dress-up lunch? Give everyone bunny ears to wear while braaing. Whoever keeps them on the longest wins an extra Easter egg.

DIY Easter egg decorating
Set up a table with paints, glitter, and stickers. Give a prize for the most creative egg. (Or the most horrific, there’s always 1.)


3. Sweet treats with a South African flavour

Peppermint Crisp tart (Easter edition)
Because it’s not a real South African celebration without a Peppermint Crisp tart, this version is Easter-filled with a layer of mini marshmallow eggs on top.

Ingredients:

  • 1 packet Tennis biscuits
  • 1 can caramel treat (you know the drill)
  • 500ml fresh cream, whipped to perfection
  • 2 Peppermint Crisp bars, crushed
  • A handful of mini marshmallow eggs (for extra sweetness)

Instructions:

  • Layer tennis biscuits at the bottom of a dish.
  • Mix caramel with whipped cream and spread over the biscuits.
  • Sprinkle crushed Peppermint Crisp over the top.
  • Repeat layers and end with Peppermint Crisp and mini marshmallow eggs.
  • Pop it in the fridge for a few hours (if you can wait that long).

Pro tip: Hide a few extra marshmallow eggs at the bottom for a sweet surprise!

We know Easter is all about fun, family, and a bit of chocolate-fueled chaos. But accidents happen… Whether it’s a backyard braai gone wrong, an over-excited kid knocking over the TV during an egg hunt, or the glass on your coffee table breaking into a million pieces during the family pillow fight.

That’s where the king hops in. With affordable cover, you can keep the Easter fun worry-free. Whether it’s home contents, car, or portable possessions, we’ve got you covered.
