Passover's coming up. For some reason it has snuck up on me this year. I knew it was coming but I've got no plans in place and I haven't even bought my matzo & other supplies yet. I gotta get moving.
Passover is my favorite holiday because it forces me to be creative in the kitchen. I love the seder, ours usually runs about two hours before dinner, after which I go in the kitchen to do dishes and let the die hards finish the service.
Most likely I'll make the same basic menu as usual.
Gefilte fish & lox (I don't eat GF so I serve lox too)
Matzo Ball Soup
Brisket (with the "extra" heavy malaga/brown sugar/ketchup sauce which we just love)
A couple of green sides (asparagus, maybe brussel sprouts or spinach)
Some kind of potato dish
Passover rolls (a tradition in my family since the early 70s when my mother got the recipe from a Manischewitz Passover pamphlet)
Choco-brown sugar matzo for dessert
And possibly some other dessert, something fruity.
Looks like we'll have somewhere between 10 & 13 this year which might be a tight squeeze as our table really only seats 10.
So... what are you making? Post your menus and recipes. They tried to kill us, we won, let's EAT!
