Matzarella en Carrozza is a Passover take of one of my favorite Italian appetizers, Mozzarella en Carrozza. I simply replace the bread with matzah that’s been soaked in egg, add mozzarella and Pesto, and sauté in olive oil. The result is an ooey gooey delicious appetizer/entrée that will please adults […]
Entree
Pesto
This traditional Pesto is an Italian sauce that is made with garlic, basil, pine nuts, olive oil and parmesan. It does lend itself to numerous variations. You can replace the basil with spinach or parsley. You can use walnuts or pistachios instead of pine nuts. For my family, I often […]
Vegetables Bourguignon
Vegetables Bourguignon is a flavorful vegetarian entrée all year round and perfect for Passover. My video shows me serving the vegetables in wine sauce over a slice of Roasted Cauliflower – making it perfect for Keto diets. My personal “go to” would be to serve it over a mound of […]
Roasted Cauliflower
A whole roasted cauliflower is a thing of beauty! Can anyone resist digging into that crisp outside and discovering the soft mellow flavors within? I must have tried to roast a whole cauliflower a zillion times before I settled on the method that satisfied my taste buds most. Here’s how. […]
Rugelach
Warning- these rugelach are incredibly dairy and delicious. I make them with nuts and without nuts. Either way, your family and guests will clamor for more! This is not one of those 1-2-3 recipes; but the results are more than worth it! Prep time: 2 hours
Beef Tagine
The combination of spices in this recipe make you feel like you’re on an exotic vacation. The hot, sweet and spicy flavors combined with the tender beef, vegetables and dried apricots make each bite a perfect one. Make this recipe a day in advance so that the flavors have a […]
Grilled Tofu
Tofu is an amazing vegetarian protein. It literally absorbs any marinade you soak it in. It also absorbs the flavors of any recipe you add it to. The trick is to press the moisture out of the tofu and give it enough time to soak up the flavors of the […]
Orange Glazed Tofu
Orange Glazed Tofu is another example of treating my vegetarian guests to flavors similar to what I’m serving my carnivores. I use the same combination of ingredients to bake and glaze the tofu as I do for both my Orange Glazed Chicken and Roast Duck in Orange Sauce. Once you […]
Chicken with Blackberry Glaze
The inspiration for this chicken recipe came from my Mother-in-Law maybe 45 years ago. My husband always called it Currant Jelly chicken. I made it with currant jelly for many years until the jelly itself became hard to find. Fast forward, I now make it with blackberry preserves. I like […]
Quinoa Crust
Several years ago, quinoa started popping up on Passover tables. It is now a staple. There is kosher for Passover quinoa, quinoa flakes, quinoa flour…I’ve seen this amazing supergrain used as a replacement for rice in sushi and as a satisfying side dish for meat and fish. Quinoa itself has […]
