I take a box of matzah farfel and toast it in a little oil in a fry pan. I saute a big onion, chopped, and a can of mushrooms (be careful, because some mushrooms cannot be used for Pesach), and when all is golden and "done, I add the onion/mushroom mixture to the farfel, pour enough boiling water over the whole thing to cover it, plus a little more water, then add in a packet of Pesachdig onion soup mix. Cover the pot, lower the heat, and let the water absorb. If you need more water, add a little at a time. You want the farfel to be soft, but not a mush. My kids cannot get enough of this, and beg me to make it even after Pesach.
Now does anyone have an absoultely PHENOMENAL farfel kugel recipe, one sweet, and one savory. I refuse to use the pesach lukshen to make lukshen kugel, but the farfel is fine. The sweet one can be with apples, bananas, and walnuts, or any combo thereof.

My sister is looking for chicken cutlet recipe ideas that do not require breading (or shall we say Matzoh mealing/coating). Anyone?
Thanks!
Posted 2 years ago # -
1] Dip cutlets into egg, then coat with crushed coconut.
2] Place cutlets in pan, mix one large can of tomato sauce with 1 cup of wine, pour over cutlets and put in oven or pot.
3] Place cutlets in pan with brocoli pieces and pineapple. Pour 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice on top ad cook.

tb, instant mashed potato flakes can also be used as "breading"
Posted 2 years ago # -
artchill- when you say wine are you referring to regular wine or cooking wine?
Posted 2 years ago # -
you can use potato chips - we like barbecue/onion garlic combo -
if you mean no coating what so ever - then you just spice and bake (DON'T overbake)Posted 2 years ago # -
Mix together some eggs with potato starch and spices until it's the consistency of a thick batter. Then dip the chicken cutlets into it and make sure its well coated. Immediately fry in oil. (The batter forms a delicious crust, similar to the batter on chametzdik sesame chicken, before the sauce is added). You can then add a sauce if you want.

Real semi-sweet wine not wine vinegar
Posted 2 years ago # -
Great (unbreaded) recipe for cutlets. In a wide loaf pan (lined with foil) layer:
1. Cutlets (pounded or not, your choice)
2. Ground meat (I use beef because it's a diff color, but I imagine turkey, chicken, or anything else would work)
3. Veggies (usually sauteed onions with carrot for color, but use your faves)
Make at least two sets of layers starting and ending with cutlets. Sprinkle with salt & pepper (and some paprika if you want) and pour on a little wine (semi sweet red, but any would work). Bake covered on 350 till done (I use a meat thermometer that beeps when it reaches the right temp, so I'm really bad with times, sorry). Use the foil to help remove the loaf from the pan, slice & serve. Enjoy.On a side note to I. M. Here "cooking" wine should almost never be used. One of the best rules to keep in mind for cooking with wine "If you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it"

I always enjoy new Pesach recipes, but, do to Chumras Pesach we use very few ingredients. We do eat gebrokts (I make my own matzo meal from last year's matzo) but we do not used any processed foods. No potato starch, no chocolate, no oil. I do have one cake recipe (plus meringues), but I would love another one (dare I hope for more than that?) Citrus juice is not a prob (we have a great juicer) and I have found that vanilla can just be left out of most cakes without terrible consequences. Nuts are doable, but keep in mind that I shell and chop/ grind them myself.
So, can anyone help me????Posted 2 years ago # -
OY Lakewoodwife - you are a true Tzadeikes. I would NEVER survive that. You can make your own potato starch, btw, just by soaking potatoes in water for a while. The starch goes to the bottom of the bowl, you pour off the water and dry the powder. How do you avoid using chocolate???? Oh well...If you go to the Lubavitch Cookbook, I think they give recipes for how to make a LOT of things that we normally use as processed stuff. Have a zeesen Pesach.

I do make alot of stuff from scratch, applesauce, tomato sauce, salsa, borscht, etc. I did know about making potato starch but it never seems worth it. Pesach this way is quite a beautiful experience.

1. Combine 3/4 cup sugar, matzo cake meal and orange zest in bowl.
2. Beat egg whites and salt in large mixer bowl until soft peaks form.
3. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup at time, alternating with orange juice.
4. Beat well after each addition.
5. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.

8. Fold additional 10 strokes.
9. Pour batter into ungreased 10-inch (25.40 centimeter) tube pan.
10. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius or Centigrade) for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until cake springs back to touch.
11. Remove from oven, immediately invert pan and cool.

* 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
* 1 1/4 cups granulated sugarPut oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Whisk together matzo cake meal and salt in a bowl. Stir together wine and lemon juice in another bowl or a glass measure.

Has anyone ever used the shmurah cake meal? (not the 18 minute) I am wondering if it will be good in baking, I'm worried it will make everything too hard and heavy.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Shindy, I had to use the shmurah cake meal and farfel last year, because my son-in-law only eats shmurah the whole yom tov. It IS heavier (don't know why that should be the case), and I did not love the quality of some baking, though the rolls came out good, and the stuffing or kugels were good. But I am not loving it for light fluffy things.

Not specifically for pesach but I just made this and I thought it might be helpful because there's no real breading for pesach. I used garlic, if you don't use garlic on pesach try it with just onion and onion powder, it'll still be great!
You'll need about half a teaspoon of paste per piece of chicken. I'll leave the measuring to you, this is a list of ingredients.
water
paprika (a good brand, it's being used for color)
garlic powderform a very thick paste and rub it on the chicken (preferably dry). Add on top onion (rounds) and garlic (rounds). Pam and bake on 400 until fork tender. It's awesome!!!
p.s. sorry about the lack of a recipe "form"

i'm looking for ideas for Seder main course. Something not roasted or baked dry (obviously), and that will be OK in the oven for a long time, but that I can take from earlier to feed the kids. Oh yeah - and non-gebruckts. Any suggestions? thanks!!
Posted 2 years ago # -
I do my usual thing of chicken parts or meat, covered with duck sauce, garlic, onion soup mix, and lots of cinnamon, surrounded by cut up potatoes. The meat is baked covered at 350 degrees until fork tender, then the heat is shut off and it is uncovered. It's saucy, it's yummy, and if you leave it in the oven in a low heat, or on a blech, it will keep for hours.

I had promised to post my Pesach rolls recipe when I got my kitchen ready and could take out the cookbooks, and here it is:
Pesach rolls - preheat oven to 375 degrees
1 1/2 cups matzah meal
1 rounded teaspoon salt
1 rounded Tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 cup water
4 eggsBoil oil and water together, then add in all ingredients but the eggs. Remove from heat, and beat in the eggs one at a time. Let mixture stand for about 15-20 minutes, then oil your hands and shape the mixture into rolls. Bake at 375 degrees on a greased cookie sheet for about 50 minutes, checking after about 40 minutes to see that it should not be burning. Sometimes I like to add a little onion powder to the batter, or sprinkle it on top of the roll, with a teensy bit of salt.

Oomis, how many rolls does this recipe get? Thanks.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Oh gosh, I really do not remember how many rolls come out of this. I guess it depends on how big you make them. I think my daughter likes to fill a muffin pan with them (and they do not rise, so make them the height that you want the final roll to be). I know from one recipe we have usually havr enough for everyone, so I would say about six or seven. If you make bigger rolls, like the size of kaiser rolls, as I have often done, using a fork side to make the distinctive kaiser roll patter on top), you need to watch them very carefully. They need to bake thoroughly, but might brown on the botttom too quickly, so I would turn down the heat a bit, and continue to check them every 5-10 minutes.

Anyone have some tasty salad recipes?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Try thawed out frozen broccoli with walnuts and a little mayo and sugar. If there are craisins that are kosher for Pesach (I personally have not seen this product, so I can't say), throw some in also. How about a Waldorf Salad with apples and walnuts? Or, take some sliced or slivered almonds, glaze them with melted sugar, and toss with shredded cabbage and carrots and a little sweet dressing.
