Im gonna save you all time:

Passover recipe for anything:

Put anything in a pot and boil it. If you want flavor (as if Passover food EVER tastes good) add salt.

DONE!

(Chag Sameach and good luck to your digestive tracts during this week of unleavened goodness.)

I'm going to try to Pesach-ify this recipe by taking out the garbanzos (and peas? can we eat peas?), and using quinoa instead of cous-cous.

Veggie Burgers (I haven't tried these yet)

Other Passover recipes

I have more at home, I'll post them when I get a chance.

Just want to bump this one...

Re: Jewish Ladies - post your favorite and yummiest Passover recipes here!

I just made something so incredibly easy from the NY Times Passover cookbook.

I am serving these instead of matzoh at the table-- I will have tam tam crackers for hor deurves though.

Passover Popovers

2 large egss (I used egg beaters)
1/4 cup of water or milk (I used skim milk)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used olive oil)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup matzoh cake meal

Preheat oven to 450. Grease a standard muffin tin.

In a bowl, beat together eggs, milk , salt and oil. Add matzoh cake meal and stir with a fork until all is blended well.

Even distribute the mixture into each muffin tin. Makes 12.

Bake in the lower third of the oven for 30 mins or until nicely browned and firmed to the touch.

I didn't bake for the full 30 mins-- so, keep a watch on them. I tasted one as a taste test and they are quite good and a nice alternative to matzoh at the dinner table.

just wanted to say that I made a Passover cheesecake for the Seder last night and it came out REALLY good! I used macaroon cumbs with 2/3 of a cup of melted butter to make the crust. YUMM!

Matzah Brei

Some people prefer softer matzah brei, while others like it crunchier. For a softer version, use more boiling water.


SERVES 4

6 sheets of matzah

4 eggs

boiling water

salt and pepper to taste



In a large bowl, break matzah into fragments. Not too small! Sprinkle with a little boiling water to soften matzah (no more than 1/4 cup).



While matzah is softening, beat eggs. Pour over softened matzah, add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.



Pour mixture into hot, oiled frying pan and cook over medium heat, stirring until matzah brei is dry but not crisp.



Serve with cinnamon and sugar, honey, or preserves (blackberry jam is particularly good). Matzah brei cools quickly. Can be reheated in the microwave.
