Sorry, what food to you make for Passover?
2007-03-11 13:50:54 · update #1
Turkey or beef brisket, apple kugel, matzo ball soup, veggies of some sort, mashed potatoes, gefilte fish (yuck!), plus haroset and all the stuff you need for the Seder plate, of course. For dessert you can make lemon bars, chocolate matzo, or a nut cake. There are many good Passover cookbooks available, and often newspapers publish recipies right before the holidays.
A less well known meal is the Feast of Many Hametz, celebrated at the end of Passover, when you eat bread, pasta, cookies, and all the good stuff you've been missing for the past week, in one big meal!

Normally I make chicken, stuffed cabbage and a few other things. I tried Matrozh ball soup last year but it didn't work. I make Akkanize Haroset, and then some using more “Sephartic” fruit choices, (dates, apricots, etc) though I'm not sure its really Sephardic at all. And Fresh Horse radish.
This year were holding Seder in the middle of the desert, with a very different menu

One of my favorite options for a side dish is a farfel kugel, which is matza farfel, eggs, mushrooms, some water, and some soup mix for flavoring.
Brisket is also traditional for dinner, as is hard boiled egg, and gefilte fish. Basically, a big meal, with matza replacing bread.
As for foods that are eaten during the ritual part of the seder, there's charoset (a fruit, nut and wine mixture, there's MANY, MANY recipies), horseradish, parsely in salt water, and matza.

Hey belle - thanks for asking!
I LOVE passover (Pesach)!
My favorite holiday...even though it's a bit difficult NOT to eat leavened food for eight days.
Anyway - back to your question:
Lamb - roasted, with rosemary and garlic.
Roasted red potatoes, zucchini & squash.
And of course, lots of kosher for passover red wine!
Of course, we've got he basics, too: charoset, matzoh ball soup and all the bitter herbs one can ingest!

After all the necessities for the Seder, I usually make chicken and pot roast. That's sort of the common meal. Along with that you are limited, usually a kugel, made of matzoh, and a vegetable, string beans very common.

Whatever happened to the sacrificed lamb with the blood spread on the doorposts?
Remember you have to eat it all before morning, so don't forget to share it with your neighbours.
Also unleaven bread ( no yeast for seven days) is part of the tradition
