Jewish Passover Meal - Yahoo Recipe Search
EpicuriousParve Although the Bible orders us to feast, the cooks in the house need food that is easy to prepare, especially on Passover eve. Mushrooms have always been a focus of Jewish food and this foragers' pie would be perfect for a pre-seder meal, when eating matzo and other flours is forbidden and the Passover meal is still hours away. This dish will also suit vegetarians as a main course for Passover.Food52In asking several of my friends and family what dish they would remember me by, I got a number of different answers. Many loved my meat pie, and a few an Israeli chicken dish I have made for years and years. But the most meaningful comment came from my father, who recently died. My grandmother and then my dad taught me how to roast a chicken. They roasted them by the dozens for our almost exclusively Jewish guests at our hotel in Pennsylvania. One time when my dad and mom visited us, he asked me to make him roast chicken like he used to make it. When we sat down to this meal, the look on his face was priceless, and I will always remember him saying, "I taught you well!" But, he was tickled with all the vegetables that were roasted with the chicken, and the sliced onions under the skin, and the lemony fragrance. These supplements to a roast chicken were new to him. He was proud that he gave me the experience of a lifetime by watching him serve home cooked meals for the summer months of every year, and he loved that food is such a big part of our lives as a family, still. We serve this chicken as one of our holiday meals, including for Passover, and baking 2 chickens will amply serve 8 with two gorgeous carcasses for chicken stock. That's not to dismiss the fact that I roast this bird about every other week, once the weather is cool enough for me to crank up the oven. With all the vegetables of our choice intact in the pan, there is no need to make another dish for dinner. If you are roasting this for two, leftovers easily become chicken curry, chicken pot pie with the addition of the leftover vegetables, and, finally, chicken soup. NOTE: In addition to or in place of any of the vegetables listed, I have added turnips, large winter radishes, celeriac, sun chokes, shallots, brussels sprouts, and whole mushrooms. Many vegetables taste great when roasted with the chicken juices.EpicuriousThis is a Passover-friendly version of gondi, the Persian Jewish soup dumpling made from chickpea flour and ground chicken. What makes these matzo balls unique are the seasonings: cardamom, turmeric, and lime. Pair this soup with the Sabzi Khordan edible herbs platter and you’ve got a classic Iranian Shabbat meal.EpicuriousBeef brisket is the centerpiece of many Jewish holiday meals, particularly at Passover, and every family has their favorite way of preparing it. There are countless recipes out there, but how many do you need besides your grandmother's? At least one more: This one! Why? Because the meat is slowly braised in Pinot Noir, and the cherry notes in the wine pair brilliantly with dried tart cherries, which plump up with winey beef juices to become little mini-pouches of flavor on their own. Add to that a bit of star anise, which perfumes the brisket and your home with an exotic and enticing hint of licorice. Season the mixture with the sweet-and-sour agrodolce dance of brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, and you have a brisket that is at once counterintuitively familiar and wonderfully different. Like all braised meats, brisket improves in flavor, and slices more easily, if made a day ahead and chilled (see Cooks' Notes). Editor's Note: This recipe is part of Gourmet's Modern Menu for Passover. Menu also includes Quinoa and Asparagus Salad with Mimosa Vinaigrette and Amaretto Olive Oil Cake.Food NetworkThis is my Midwest Jewish mashup for a low-maintenance crowd-pleasing Passover main dish. A hotdish is a meal in a dish with a protein (brisket, you have to have it on Passover!), vegetables (carrots, celery and peas), starch (potato smiles) and something to bind it together (the thick stewy braising liquid) …it’s rich and comforting but not overly heavy thanks to all of the veggies. Passover happens in Spring and it’s still really cold where I live, so this warm cozy dish just makes sense!Food.comThis kosher for Passover recipe comes courtesy of Norene Gilletz and was printed in the Canadian Jewish News.AllrecipesMy mother makes a GREAT beef brisket. She got the recipe after watching a friend's Jewish grandmother make it. It is perfect, delicious and easily kosher for Passover. Enjoy! Great with mashed potatoes or potato latkes (latkes with this meal are also kosher) or roasted vegetables (with olive oil, salt and pepper - also kosher). Mazel Tov!Food.comThese are sauteed pancakes, and delicious. This is the way my grandmother made them, and they were served at the Jewish holidays of Hanukah and during the 8 days of Passover, but not at the Seder (dinner and religious service), but for a light supper. They are good served as a side dish with the Winter Vegetable Plate in my cookbook. If you don't have Matzo Meal (which is also great for breading meat or fish),substitute all purpose flour.Food52What's with carrots and cabbage and holiday meals? Jewish holidays somehow lend themselves easily to the abuse of certain vegetables. Here is an updated use of cabbage and carrots in a composed salad that can be used on holidays without shame. Note: If you keep kosher and serve this with a meat meal, you can omit the last dressing, which contains dairy. (There are two dressings!) Additionally, if you keep kosher for passover and do not eat kitniyot during the holiday, omit both the dressings I have included, and use lemon, garlic, olive oil, and salt. It will be tasty either way.
