Not-Chicken Soup

Tue, 05 Mar 2002 10:44:32 -0500

This veggie chicken soup is based on a Mollie Katzen recipe. Instead of discarding the vegetable I sometimes mash them, add some eggs, oil and matzo meal and make them into a kugel. -- posted by Mirj

Marinated Vegetable Salad

This has been a family favorite for years and is about the simplest recipe you can make! -- posted by Mysterygirl

Crock Pot Roasted Garlic

Mon, 08 Apr 2002 15:30:27 -0400

This is a great method for roasting garlic, so it can be ready when you start cooking in the evening. I've even done it overnight and started cooking in the morning. Roasted garlic goes great with mashed potatoes, on pasta, or simply spread on crusty bread. -- posted by Mirj

Onion Compote with Wine

Thu, 11 Apr 2002 10:58:36 -0400

This goes wonderfully with grilled meats, and even with cooked pastas. You can make it as sweet as you like depending on the sweetness of the onions, taste as you go along! -- posted by Mirj

Hot Fruit Compote for Passover or all year round

Fri, 04 Apr 2003 20:02:25 -0500

Most people like to serve compote for dessert on Passover to help alleviate the effects of the matza and because there aren't too many easy or good Passover desserts. I got this recipe from a Passover cookbook called "Let My People Eat" -- posted by Caryn Gale

Sephardic Passover Charoset for the Seder

Fri, 04 Apr 2003 20:02:31 -0500

Charoset is served at the Passover seder and is meant to symbolize the mortar between the brick that the slaves had to use to build the walls. It is served as part of the seder. -- posted by Caryn Gale

Annice's Potato and Mushroom Croquettes for Passover

Sun, 06 Apr 2003 20:11:11 -0400

This recipe actually belongs to a wonderful woman named Annice Grinberg. We met on a cooking list about 10 years ago, and I've admired her recipes on the Internet for years. I actually had a chance to meet her a few years ago, and we discovered that I went to high school with her daughter. Any recipe that has Annice's name on it is a winner, like this one. -- posted by Mirj

Pesach Pie Crust

Thu, 10 Apr 2003 20:19:00 -0400

Posted in response to a recipe request. This is one of the most simplest pie crust recipes I've come across for Passover, and it's no-roll, a boon for those of us who hate rolling dough (I'm the President of the NoRoll Club) -- posted by Mirj

Baked Mexican Bananas

Tue, 13 May 2003 20:00:35 -0400

I don't eat bananas often, even though I love them. When I do have bananas, they have to be very special, and I promise you, these babies are very very special! Try serving them over vanilla frozen yogurt, or with an intensely chocolate ice cream. -- posted by Mirj

Flower Ice Bowls

Mon, 16 Jun 2003 20:06:24 -0400

Talk about presentation! These gorgeous frozen floral bowls (edible!) are recommended for cold soups, particularly fruit soups. But I figure anything cold would be more than enhanced by these bowls. You can make a bowl for each serving or one big serving bowl. Recipe discovered in "Cooking Fearlessly: Recipes and other Adventures from Hudson's on the Bend" -- posted by Seebee

Lemon Herb Quinoa

Thu, 19 Jun 2003 20:05:35 -0400

This recipes comes from a fellow Israeli foodie, Gabi Shahar. I tried it out recently (am on a quinoa kick these days) and it's very good. A good alternative to tabbouli or couscous as a cool summer grain salad. -- posted by Mirj

Israeli Salad with Jicama

Mon, 07 Jul 2003 20:06:44 -0400

I found this easy, tasty recipe in a Chicago Sun-Times article on Passover recipes. You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy this one! This salad goes very well with grilled chicken or served on lettuce leaves for a light lunch. -- posted by Hey Jude

Sweet Orange Granita

Mon, 14 Jul 2003 20:04:58 -0400

This is a wonderful refreshing dessert or palate cleanser that I adapted from a recipe found in Pino Luongo's " Simply Tuscan". I serve it in frozen, hollowed out orange halves, garnished with a mint leaf. -- posted by Miraklegirl

Applesauce

Tue, 02 Sep 2003 20:00:03 -0400

My late father only knew how to cook two dishes and this was one. The type of apples you use will determine how mushy your apple sauce turns out. Cooking apples will turn into the texture of commercial applesauce while others will keep their shape even after the cooking. Either way it's delicious. The recipe can easily be doubled (or tripled...or quadrupled) to serve a crowd. -- posted by Rachel Savage

Unusual Avocado Salad

Hawaiian Charoset

Fri, 05 Mar 2004 20:00:07 -0500

Most people make charoset for Passover using the same recipe that people around the world have used for thousands of years -- apples, walnuts and wine. This is a Faye Levy that takes fusion cuisine to a whole new level. This is certainly going to be the charoset on my table this year! -- posted by Mirj

asparagus soup

Curried Sweet Potatoes in Coconut Milk

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 18:17:29 -0500

I found this recipe on a site that was promoting an Asian-flavored Thanksgiving. Even though we don't really celebrate the holiday per se, we adore sweet potatoes and we love Indian cuisine, so why limit ourselves? The original recipe called for yams, but I subbed in the sweet potatoes. Feel free to re-sub the yams. I also adapted the recipe a bit to tailor it more to our family's tastes. -- posted by Mirj

Salad of Bitter Greens and Oranges

Sat, 25 Mar 2006 07:32:44 -0500

Passover Charoses

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 22:22:23 -0400

I absolutely love this Passover sedar staple, and I don't even like nuts. It's wonderful on the sedar table eaten on some matzo, but is also great leftover as a side dish for lunch or dinner. This basic recipe would serve 2 people. For a big family dinner, I would suggest making 6-8 apples and increasing the rest of the ingredients accordingly. This is traditionally made with Mogen David sweet wine, but any sweet red wine would do. -- posted by Karen67

Iranian Haroset

Wed, 23 May 2007 09:26:03 -0400

This is from Cooking Light. "Seder means "order" in Hebrew, and the seder meal has several components symbolic of the story retold each year. The meal always includes haroset, a condiment made of fruit, nuts, and honey. Its thick, chutneylike consistency symbolizes the bricks and mortar the Jews had to prepare when they were slaves, while its sweetness represents the joy of freedom that followed their slavery. The tradition of eating haroset as part of the seder dates back at least 1,500 years. Haroset is a kosher dish that showcases the richness of Jewish culinary traditions. As people settled in different areas, they made creative use of local ingredients. Ashkenazic Jews (those from Germany and Eastern Europe) favored apple-based haroset. Sephardic Jews from Spain and countries farther south and east, such as Tunisia, Greece, and Turkey, made their haroset with dates, figs, and other dried fruit (showcased in our Turkish Haroset). In addition to these traditions, it seems every family has its own heirloom recipe. New versions are created all the time, like New England Haroset, which incorporates dried cranberries and maple syrup." -- posted by dicentra

Sweet Potato and Lemongrass Soup

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 16:12:40 -0400

I found this recipe online in an article about a Philadelphia restaurant and tried it out at home. I wasn't overawed by it, but love the flavors, so I decided to play around with it a bit. By the third batch I had hit gold. -- posted by Mirj

Sephardic Date Charoset

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:09:24 -0400

This is a close approximation of my grandmother's recipe. She used (and I prefer) red wine instead of grape juice, but the option for no alcohol is there for you. -- posted by Alyssa #3

Vegetable Kugel

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:17:16 -0400

This recipe was given to me by the mother of a vegetarian friend of mine. We had the pleasure of attending her family's Seder and this was one of the dishes her mother prepared for her. I enjoy this as is, but don't be mistaken, this is NOT a sweet kugel. My friend's mother told me that you can add 1/2 cup of sugar to the mix before baking if you prefer something a bit sweeter or if you're using a particulary tart apple. Regardless, this makes a delicious side dish with your Passover meal or you can eat the whole pan by yourself all year round like I do :-) -- posted by kolleen1021

Mujadarra

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:33:09 -0500

This is a fantastic lentil dish. In my quest to find healthier food that my family liked and would actually eat, I decided to try this recipe. It was demonstrated on T.V. by Ali Sabbah from the Mazza Cafe, a Jewish restaurant, in Salt Lake City. My family just ate this up, even my picky five year old boy. I had to post it before I lost the recipe. -- posted by bluesagegirl
