They were inexpensive to make, could be prepared the day before the Sabbath, and were an easy kosher option. Matzoh Ball Soup: Passover dinner might also start with a steaming bowl of matzoh ball soup. Some jokingly refer to this chicken broth soup as "Jewish penicillin" since it has the same anecdotally restorative properties as chicken noodle soup. But on Passover, it's simply the first of the many different ways Jews prepare and enjoy matzoh. Lamb: Some Jews serve lamb as their main course, reenacting the last night before the Exodus, and literally ingesting part of the story.
A roast lamb is certainly an elegant addition to any passover feast. Brisket: This long-cooking cut of beef has become a mainstay of many Jewish meals, including Passover. Brisket became synonymous with Jewish cuisine since it's naturally kosher, being a cut from the front of the animal, and because its low cost was affordable to even poorer Jewish families.
Tzimmes: A tzimmes is basically a casserole or a stew, and it usually has a sweet flavor profile; carrots or other root vegetables and dried fruit are often included. Although it doesn't have Passover-specific symbolism, it goes great with braised or roasted meats, and can be made in a batch big enough for company. One to try: Orange Juice Tzimmes. Kugel: Starchy baked side dishes, often made with noodles or potatoes in a custard base, are part of the Jewish culinary experience, in part because Orthodox Jews who don't use power on the Sabbath, can cook them slowly overnight.
For Passover, cooks opt for versions that don't include flour or noodles, such as savory potato-based kugels or sweeter versions made with matzoh or farfel , a tiny egg noodle. Dessert: The Passover kosher diet not only prohibits leavening agents, but also any grain that can ferment, including wheat flour. But this doesn't mean skipping dessert. Instead, Jewish cooks get creative when it comes to capping off the Passover feast.
Here's a time when flourless chocolate cake is the perfect solution. Sponge cake made with matzoh cake meal and potato starch, with beaten egg whites for lightness, is another solution, and mandel bread , a relative to biscotti, is also traditional.
