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 […]
Vegetarian
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
I developed this recipe for Passover; but, in truth, it would be a flavorful vegetarian entree all year round. 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 […]
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. […]
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
This recipe 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 my Roast Duck in Orange Sauce. Once you press all the moisture out of the […]
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 […]
Puff Pastry Straws
You can make these Puff Pastry Straws out of store bought puff pastry made with butter or the non-dairy variety made with margarine. I usually make them non-dairy so that I can serve them with a meat meal. It doesn’t get easier than slightly rolling out the defrosted pastry, sprinkling […]
Brown Rice with Zucchini and Onions
This recipe goes under the heading of comfort food. My adult son had about two cups of it for lunch and asked for more. He was out of luck! The family had gotten there before him and eaten most of it. Zucchini and onions add richness to the rice, while […]
Potato Latkes
This was such a sweet post from my daughter (Jessica Kobrin Bernstein- @Peek a baby blog)- that I had to repost it here: “These are the latkes that I grew up eating…and I still haven’t tasted any that come close!” The ultimate latke, in our family, is crispy on the […]
