#kosher for pesach

[jewreallythinkthat]

Guys, if you keep kosher for Passover and do not eat kitniyot and want something exciting this year, you NEED to head to @sialiaskitchen and check out the recipe for matzo meal tortillas. I had a go making them properly today and these things are MAGIC!

The only things I'd recommend are:

1. Make sure to knead each portion of tortilla "dough" until they are properly smooth, it will make sure you get a smooth outside to the tortillas and prevent them cracking. This will take maybe 1 minute for each one. I just kept squishing it in my hand and then rolled it into a ball.

2. If, like me, you don't have a tortilla press, you can place the balls between parchment paper and then put it on the floor with a flat board above and then gently step on the board. I ended up on one leg with my entire body weight on the board and then gave them a little roll with a rolling pin just to even put the shape if necessary.

3. Trust Sialia's process. They need to stand, covered, to soften and I promise they will - just don't be worried if it takes a little longer than you expect. I piled them all up under a bowl and once a few were there and steaming, they softened much faster.

For anyone interested, the filling is pulled jackfruit and butternut squash in a guajillo and ancho chilli sauce. It's then sprinkled with queso fresco - although pick your fave cheese if you prefer, chopped red onion (purple), red onion soaked in red wine vinegar and sugar - a quick pickled onion (pink), and coriander/cilantro. 10/10 will be making again

Passover Trifle or Charlotte (whatever)

Crumble stale macaroons into a bowl. Pour vanilla pudding over them. Chill an hour or several.

Could also use leftover passover cake or cookies. Anything slightly dried out and crumbly.

Could swap whipped cream or sweetened condensed milk for the pudding.

Would be good with berries.

Looking for a good Pesadik main dish for whatever point in the holiday? I've got you covered. We use tapioca starch for this, and though in the past we've found Pesadik mock regular mustard, the only one available this year was honey mustard, so we substituted horseradish sauce (chrein). If you go that route, use the white one, not the purple one with beets! You do actually need to roughly measure the zucchini cuz with the suggested 3-4 large zucchinis, you'll end up with way too many zoodles compared to the tuna. We don't usually use the green chilies; that much heat would exacerbate a chronic illness or 2 for me and possibly also not be great for some relatives.

Anyway, this comes out delicious - my brother even remarked that it "has a sort of cheesy mouthfeel" - and is great for feeding people who can't have dairy at a dairy/pareve meal. (*cough* me *cough*) Enjoy!

today i learned that there is MATZAH THAT ISN'T KOSHER FOR PASSOVER??? WHY. WHY. IT HAD ONE JOB. I AM LOSING MY MIND. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA.

Me: I am interested in judaism ONLY. Show me content about jewish life, intellectualism, history, and daily life

The Algorithm, apparently: does this mean you're interested in mormonism... how about jehova's witness............... this is all you'll get recommended by the way

matzah "chilquiles" one day for breakfast :)

Tw: the holocaust, mentions of the current war, bad spelling/grammar, trauma dumping (I’m sorry)

Jewish culture (with parents from Russia/Ukraine) is growing up with stories of antisemitism from your family, growing up being told/thinking you were safe in the US, only to be proven wrong again and again and again

Jewish culture is being one of two Jewish kids in your middle school, when your teacher decides that ‘boy in the striped pajamas’ is a good source to use to teach the holocaust (and then vaguely bonding with the other Jewish kid over history class, because even though you’ve only spoken like 5 times before that, the constant camping out in the bathroom with nothing to do facilitated a mutual kindness and respect)

Jewish culture is having to explain why you can’t have pizza or breadsticks during Passover every year

Jewish culture is being happy every time a new friend asks about your dietary restrictions, because even though they know you’re Jewish, they don’t really know what that means, but they want to. Because they care about you.

Jewish culture is seeing ‘protesters’ with anti-Israel and holocaust denial signs outside your synagogue every week for years, even before the current war (and then being told that it’s free speech when it’s brought up to city council)

Jewish culture is being proud of your Jewishnis, and then being told by your parents that you have to hide it, for your own safety.

Jewish culture is being happy any time your friends remember your dietary restrictions, or holidays, or stand up for you

Jewish culture is wanting to wear heels to synagogue, but also worrying in that back of your mind that you can’t run in heels very well

Jewish culture is loving the massive Minora(?) your synagogue lights up outside every year, but also checking behind you every few seconds to make sure everyone is safe

Jewish culture is not knowing how the F to spell any Jewish words (holidays, places, objects, food, ect.) because each one has like 17 different spellings, and you’re dyslexic, so you just throw letters on a page and hope autocorrect understands (it doesn’t)

Jewish culture is finding this blog and being so happy you almost cry 💙

we love you here, don't worry!! your grammar was perfect and your spelling wasn't too bad, just two words I noticed! (jewishness and menorah). I am so glad you found my blog, I am so glad I made this blog. every time I get a long ask like this, I almost light up with joy because it makes me so happy to know people feel safe to submit their stories like this, so thank you too!! <33

also don't worry, nobody knows how to spell a lot of the words, as long as the sounds are close enough we'll understand!!

My absolute favorite part about keeping kosher for Passover is scanning the list of ingredients for yeast extract or nuts if you keep kitniyot, and then being horrified by all the chemicals you're putting into your body.

"what the hell is carcinogens-are-us doing in my slushee!? What is toxic-radiation-fun-time in this cheese for??"

Then completely forgetting about that the second you figure out it doesn't have anything you're avoiding.

"I guess I can have I-am-poison-incarnate- no nuts, corn syrup, yeast extract or all that other problematic stuff. This concoction of synthetic chemical compounds might start the next pandemic, but a girl's gotta eat!"

PS- ofc get the kosher for passover certification if you can, but this is about a bunch of college students at 7/11 at 1 AM, STRUGGLING.

Passover Banana Chocolate Chip Cake!!!!!

woooooo! It is fluffy and moist and delicious!!!

And what would Pesach be without quinoa side salads? We use spinach instead of kale for this easy, delicious family favorite. You could use it as a main, but you'd definitely want something else nutrient-dense to go with it; it's just too light to be the lone entree of a major meal.

As someone who is very allergic to both gluten and dairy I love Pesach bc it’s the one time a year everyone has to eat like me
