Need Passover Recipes? Look No Further

Hi everyone!

As we are approaching Passover, I bet you wonder what you’re going to eat. Luckily for you, I’ve got some recipes on the site that are perfect for the holiday, or can be adjusted so there are no problems with chametz. I am linking to all of them:

REINA’S CHICKEN SOUP (And so it begins): Za’atar is hard to find kosher for Passover due to its inclusion of sesame seeds (I believe this is fine for kitniyot). My suggestion for this is to switch up your seasonings. Thyme goes great with chicken, as does rosemary and sage – all three of which are kosher for Passover.

TURKEY JOES (Putting on the Fritz): Turkey Joes are good, but most of the year I use rice vinegar and mustard (which I believe are kitniyot, but not regularly kosher for Passover). I suggest using apple cider vinegar instead and upping a little bit of the honey for flavor. Make sure the barbecue sauce is thick, because you’re going to need it for the consistency. And instead of hamburger buns, matzah should be used.

STUFFED MUSHROOMS (Happy &*#^!@ New Year’s!): The obvious substitution is matzo meal for bread crumbs. But I would suggest seasoning your matzo meal with garlic, herbs and salt and pepper.

CHOCOLATE CHILI (Chili out for the New Year): Cumin and kidney beans are obviously kitniyot, so omit them if you don’t observe them. Allow the chili to simmer longer, though – or instead of using hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes, use chipotle peppers to get smoky heat.

ZUCCHINI AND POTATOES GRATIN (A Special Market): Should be all good, unless you don’t eat dairy on Passover (and there are actually some Jews that don’t).

ROAST CHICKEN (The Sabbath Queen): See chicken soup warning about Za’atar.

PARMESAN EGGPLANT (A Journey Along Second Street): See note with zucchini and potatoes gratin.

NONY’S MINUTE STEAKS (Nony and Me): Omit the cumin.

LEMON DILL SALMON (Julia)

SALMON COBB SALAD (Kayaking with G-d): Omit the soy bacon and see if you can find kosher for Passover ranch.

NONY’S TUNA SALAD (Adventures of the Hi-Ho Market): Be careful regarding your sweet dressings so they don’t contain corn syrup.

ITALIAN CHICKEN (Welcome to the Past)

ISRAELI SALAD (GOODBYE, RABBI BOUSKILA)

POLLACK SALAD (Punk Jew)

BROCCOLI COLESLAW (Everybody plays with food… I mean plays the fool)

HOMEMADE HAMBURGERS (Job Hunt, or Hunt for Love?): Omit Za’atar.

MATZAH BARK (Starting to be O-U P)

BUTTERFLIED BALSAMIC CHICKEN (Gene Simmons and the Meaning of Freedom)

REINA’S MEATLOAF (Passover: Celebration of Freedom or an Excuse to Rip People Off?)
