GOOD Passover recipes - PLEASE SHARE!
IMO, Passover food just sucks - yeah I said it. Same crap year after year - matzah balls, gefilte fish, a turkey or a brisket and those G-d awful jelly rings or marshmallow twists. Oh and don't get me started on macaroons. I hate it all.
Anyway, for those of you who celebrate the Passover holiday, why not have a thread for our favorite non-boring Passover dishes?
Oh and good luck to all of your digestive systems. You have to have intestines of steel to make it through that week!!!

I make these every year and they're pretty good! I think it might even be the same recipe or very similar, did you find it on allrecipes?

Re: GOOD Passover recipes - PLEASE SHARE!
I posted this on a thread last week, but here it is again..
They are SOOO GOOOD. I'm not Jewish (my DH is). After eating these, people always try to school me how you cant bake w/ flour at passover. When I tell them they do not have any flour they are shocked.
They taste even better than some regular homemade brownie recipes.
INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup butter
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons matzo meal (recipe calls for matzo meal, I prefer the matzo flour)
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch square pan.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the unsweetened chocolate. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, and pour in the chocolate and butter, then stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together the matzo meal, potato starch and salt. Use a spoon to stir into the chocolate mixture until well blended. Mix in the walnuts or chocolate chips if using. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the brownies are dry on top and begin to pull away from the sides.

Re: GOOD Passover recipes - PLEASE SHARE!
some of my congregants had their favorite passover recipes published in this month's newsletter:
Dessert Apple Kugel
My mom, Lynn, loved Passover and this was a recipe she
made every year.
4 sheets matzah, crushed
6 eggs
1 ½ cups sugar
½ cup ground walnuts
1 cup raisins
¼ cup orange juice
Grated rind of one orange
5 tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 ½ TB.. cinnamon mixed with ¼ cup sugar
¼ cup melted butter or margarine
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9x13-inch baking pan.
Place crushed matzah in a bowl, cover with warm water and
allow to soak. Squeeze out as much water as possible by transferring
the matzah to a strainer and pressing out the water.
Beat eggs until frothy then add sugar and bet well.
Stir in drained matzah, walnuts, raisins, OJ and rind.
Spread half this mixture to the pan and spread half of the
apples over it.
Cover with the remaining matzah mixture, then top with the
other half of the apples.Pour the melted butter evenly over the
top. Bake 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temp.
makes 8 generous servings
Simone Beck’s Chocolate Cake
(Food And Wine April, 1994)
This cake is one of the best recipes that I have ever made. My
husband is not a chocolate lover but this cake is on our
Passover table every year. For my kids, it isn't Passover if this
cake isn't on the menu.
Cake
2 Tablespoons slivered, blanched almonds
¼ cup sugar
6 ounces German sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 ½ sticks (12 Tablespoons) unsalted butter or margarine
4 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
¼ cup matzo cake meal
Pinch of salt
Glaze:
About ¼ cup slivered, blanched almonds
3 ½ ounces German sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 Tablespoons brewed, strong coffee
3 Tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into bits
1. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 375. Lightly butter an
8X2-inch round or springform pan. Line the pan with parchment
and butter the paper. Flour the pan, tapping out the excess.
2. In a food processor, pulse the almonds with 1 Tablespoon of
the sugar until very firmly ground. Set aside
3. Put the butter and the chocolate in a medium, microwave
safe bowl. Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave. Let
the mixture cool slightly.
4. In another medium bowl, beat the egg yolks with the
remaining 11 Tablespoons sugar at high speed until thick and
pale. Stir in the warm chocolate until smooth. Fold in the cake
flour and ground almonds.
5. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff
peaks form. Stir one quarter of the beaten whites into the chocolate
mixture; then fold in the remaining whites just until combined.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for about 30 minutes or until moist crumbs cling to a
toothpick inserted in the center and the cake springs back slightly
when pressed. Transfer to a rack and let cool in the pan for 1
hour. Loosen the cake from the sides of the pan with a small
knife, invert onto a rack and let cool completely. Remove the
parchment paper.
(The cake can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 1 day.)
7. Make the glaze: Preheat the oven to 350. Spread almonds on
a baking sheet and toast for about 7 min., until fragrant.
8. Meanwhile, put the coffee and the chocolate into a
microwave safe bowl. Melt them together. Stir until smooth.
Add the butter and stir until it melts.
9. Invert the cake onto a serving plate. Place 2-inch-wide strips
of wax paper under the edges of the cake to keep the platter
clean. Using a metal spatula, spread the chocolate glaze evenly
over the top and sides of the cake. Discard the paper strips.
Arrange the toasted nuts in a ring around the top of the cake
and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the glaze.
Bertha’s Sponge Cake
This is my Godmother Bertha’s great recipe for
Passover sponge cake. It’s the best sponge cake I ever tasted.
1/2 cup cake meal
1/2 cup potato starch
9 eggs (separated) and at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. orange or lemon rind
4 oz. orange juice
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Place egg yolks in larger mixing bowl and egg whites in
medium size mixing bowl
Beat egg yolks at full speed for 5 minutes, until they turn a
pale, lemony, yellow color
Add sugar to egg yolks gradually. Add rind and juice and
then add cake meal and potato starch gradually, until just combined.
Beat egg whites at full speed until stiff peaks form.
Gradually fold in egg whites into other mixture, until just
combined.
Carefully turn batter into oiled two-piece tube pan so that it
does not deflate and bake for approximately 1 hour, until a tooth
pick comes out clean. Can serve as is, or with strawberries.

Re: GOOD Passover recipes - PLEASE SHARE!
try looking up recipes for celiacs (people who can't eat gluten). there is a ton of stuff we are able to make that should be able to be translated into passover food!
I am jewish too. Some of our passovers have been rather interesting, like the fried chicken and potatoes passover  just don't use bread crumbs for the chicken!
my hints:
just put honey on everything
do the mix of apples, walnuts and totally drench it in wine, makes it SOOOO much better!
buy chocolate covered matzah, if you are going to it eat, might as well cover it in chocolate.
make matzah brai (french toast but with matzah instead), my mom loves this stuff.

Re: GOOD Passover recipes - PLEASE SHARE!
I found this recipe for brownies on allrecipes.com that just uses Matzah Cake Meal, without the potato starch. Made them for the 1st seder and everyone raved!
Passover Brownies
INGREDIENTS
5 eggs
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups matzo cake meal
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts
DIRECTIONS
1. Beat eggs and sugar. Add oil. Mix in cake meal and cocoa. Add nuts (or use the nuts as a topping).
2. Bake in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 35 minutes. The secret to moist brownies, Pesach or otherwise, is to underbake them. Check them at 30 minutes. I also put nuts on top rather than in the brownies for two reasons: They make the top look good without having to frost them and, for those who don't or can't eat nuts, they are easily removed without having to search for them
NOTE: My family isn't a fan of nuts in brownies, so I added about 1 cup of chocolate chips. I couldn't find any "Kosher for Passover" ones and my family isn't super strict so I just used regular Nestle ones.

I needed to bump this thread to say thank you so much for sharing this brownie recipe!
I made it yesterday for the Seder & no one believed me that it was Kosher for Passover!!!
I'm actually making it again this afternoon to bring to the 2nd Seder!
When I made it, I omitted the Potato Starch and just used Matzo Cake Meal (1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons). I didn't use any nuts, but I did add the chocolate chips.
Totally can't wait to try it after the holiday is over with real flour. I can only imagine how much better it will be then!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
