Passover food thoughts
Apr. 18th, 2011 12:43 pmBased on what produce appealed, mostly. Most of this won't happen before the holiday starts, but it doesn't matter, since I just have to rustle up food for me for lunches, pretty much. And once I can eat matza, things are easier.
- pineapple chunks, perhaps roasted with a bit of brown sugar
- honeydew melon with fresh lime juice/zest and a bit of black pepper
- salad fixings include: cucumber, jicama, purple watercress, mint, scallions, chives, and grapefruit
- fried eggplant with some tomato product, and possibly caramelized onions, or some form of caponata
- turkey thighs baked with chutney
- n-allium matza brei (currently have: onions, garlic, scallions, chives, leeks)
- root vegetable soup
- baked/roasted sweet potatoes (also possibly rutabaga, potatoes, onions, carrots)
- carrot pickles (for later in the week or next year)
- matza with: cheese, eggplant 'liver', baba ganoush
- baby artichokes served with melted butter
- Shaker lemon pie guts
- raisin-nut clusters
- spiced nuts
- Chinese broccoli sauteed with onion, garlic, mushroom, and ginger
- fresh pineapple-mint salsa
- potato salad with garlicky cucumber pickles and possibly hard-boiled eggs
- fruit compote with dried fruit (raisins, prunes, peaches) and fruit juice (grape/orange/mango/apricot/passionfruit/youngberry)
- if I get more protein during chol ha-moed: turkey meatloaf, or a spicy beef-vegetable stew, or baked gefilte fish
