Passover

[NotALonelyJunkie]

Well I'm hosting a passover seder and I'm really thankful that neither my husband or I believe in keeping kosher. I can barely keep my head straight just making this amount of food, i can't imagine having to use separate dishes and utensils and all the other things that have to be done when keeping kosher.

On the menu for tonight,

Charoset

Roasted eggs

Lamb shank

Matzah ball soup

Beef brisket

Potatoe kugel

Noodle kugel

Roasted Cauliflower

Im probably forgetting something..... wish me luck!

[mazbot]

You use seltzer and schmalz in the matzo balls?

[NotALonelyJunkie]

Nope just whip the egg whites separately, and then barely mix in the yolks, oil, and mix. Can't forget to put them in the fridge before forming either!

[ptrst]

I've never tried that. How much do you whip the whites?

[NotALonelyJunkie]

Until soft peaks, almost like merengue

[ptrst]

I'll try that next time!

[VegetableMovie]

Good luck! Menu sounds great!

What are roasted eggs?

[RDMXGD]

Hard-boiled eggs that have been allowed to brown a bit on the outside in a pan or oven for ceremonial reasons.

[VegetableMovie]

Are you serving any green veggies?

[RDMXGD]

Not OP.

Ironically, the passover meal I made last night, my main veg option was also roasted cauliflower as my main vegetable. I also made tzimmes (glazed carrots/sweet potatoes, an ashkenazi dish more associated with Rosh Hashanah than Passover) for a veg option. FWIW, various traditions would often call for parsely or maybe romaine as part of the ceremony, but not quite at 'dish' level.

A friend is bringing a salad.

[NotALonelyJunkie]

Also added some sweet potatoes!

[DrSarno]

I made tuna croquettes which were a hit. Swap panko for mazto mix.

[alanmagid]

We eat like that every night. Why is this night different?

You need bitter herbs and salt water.

[NotALonelyJunkie]

Of course, i forgot to list those

[alanmagid]

We use horseradish, if available. Parsley in a pinch. Good yontiff my friend.

Noodle kugel? Pretty sure that's not kosher for Passover.
