Want finger lickin' great passover recipes? Here's what I made.
The following recipes are based on what I made this past Pesach. If you know my cooking philosophy, then you know I like to have several recipes that I know by heart, with a few ingredients, that are easy and tasty.
For most of these I don't have exact measurements, that is because I do it by heart and don't follow the recipe exactly. I'll still give you guidelines for how much to put in.
I really like to keep things simple. Especially on Passover. And, I work hard to motivate myself to get all of the cooking done in record time. I put on my sneakers, and listen to all my favorite music- shlomo carlebach, moshav band, matisyahu, neshama carlebach, and a little rascal flatts :) I know that mp3s seem to be the most preferred way of acquiring music and you can get these downloads on mp3 here at this link.
Enjoy my Passover recipes!
Seder Night #1
Appetizer-Strawberry, Avocado, and grapefruit Salad
It's funny, I thought I would just make the salad with strawberry and avocado, but until I put the grapefruit in, the strawberries didn't taste like much. The sourness of the grapefruit really brought out the natural sweetness of the strawberries.
Add honey, a little salt, slivered almonds if you like, and serve in dessert cups.
Fish-Gefilte Fish Muffins
I made 10 loaves of gefilte fish and turned them into muffins! This is the best snack throughout the whole Passover because they are fun to eat as snacks. I took 10 frozen loaves of gefilte fish, defrosted them, and then mashed them up into a big bowl, added sliced onions, dill, celery, pepper and that's it! Pour into muffin tins and you are good to go!
Chicken Soup
Had to have chicken soup. I add a lot of vegetables- celery root, onions, beets, chicken bones, parsnips, turnips (the best!), squash, and sweet potatoes. Believe it or not, if you add a drop of vinegar, the marrow from the chicken bones leaches out and the soup becomes a very healthy soup.
Meat-Brisket
We had a brisket that I marinated overnight, with a little oil, lemon, honey, minced garlic, wine, onions, potatos, and carrots. I think the secret really is rubbing the garlic onto the brisket and letting it marinate for as long as possible.
Chicken-Pineapple Chicken
I poured crushed pineapple all over the chicken with a little balsamic vinegar glaze, big chunks of onions, salt, and other spices like paprika. I make this during the year also with soy sauce. So fast and we made 4 pans of this passover recipe to have throughout the holiday.
Side Dish-Tzimmes
I don't really like tzimmes but I toned down the sweetness of it by adding vegetables also. Onions, squash, whatever I had! I made it to use up all of the canned vegetables I had left for Pesach.
Grain-Quinoa
Never heard of it? Quinoa is kind of like puffed rice, I can't really explain it, but it is the ONLY grain kosher for Pesach. And theonly brand that is acceptable on Pesach is this one (I think that is because they ONLY make Quinoa): Quinoa, Whole Grain, Organic, 12 oz.
Dessert-Sorbet
We had sorbet for dessert! I bought 3 flavors, had the scoops with tea and the chocolate that one of our guests brought.
That's it! Did you expect more elaborate passover recipes? Sorry, but I like to cook fast and by heart. They don't call me the Speed Organizing for nothing!
