A refreshing change from a heavy meat meal.
Passover Lasagne | |||
Description | |||
This is easy and a very big hit. No matter how full my guests are from the previous evening’s seder, no matter how they think they’ll never eat another thing, they always end up having seconds of this dish. |
|||
Ingredients | |||
12 matzas, slightly dampened |
|||
Preparation | |||
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. You will need 2-9x13 – inch pans. In a medium bowl, mix together farmers cheese, eggs and nutmeg. Set aside. Pour a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of each pan. Place two matzas on top of the sauce. You can fill in the empty space with broken pieces. Next place a layer of the cheese mixture in both pans, using about 1/4 of the mixture for each pan. Sprinkle a small amount of mozarella cheese over the farmers cheese, then cover with a layer of sauce. Add another layer of matzas, then the remaining farmers cheese. Add another layer of sauce and a final layer of matzas. Cover the tops of the matzas with the mozarella cheese. Bake for about 45 minutes until cheese is nicely melted and browning. Serves 12 guests who claim they’re not really hungry. |
Passover Candy | |||
Description | |||
This delicacy comes from my friend Holly’s kitchen and if she says they are delicious, I believe her. You can use your imagination to create variations – think coconut, macadamia nuts etc. You could also leave out either the apricots or the marshmallows. |
|||
Ingredients | |||
3 cups chocolate, chopped (use milk chocolate, bittersweet, semisweet or white chocolate, depending upon taste preferences and if you want it to be parve or dairy) |
|||
Preparation | |||
Melt chocolate over very low heat, stirring until smooth. Add rest of ingredients, mixing well. Line cookie sheets with wax paper. Drop tablespoons of chocolate mixture onto the paper. Refrigerate until candy is hardened. Remove candy from wax paper and place in plastic ziploc bags. Store in freezer. |
