If you're a busy, Jewish vegan, these recipes are exactly what you need for Passover. Simple, healthy, and delicious. That's all we really need, right?
Oh, and to keep kosher.
During Passover, the regular kosher guidelines apply, plus a few additional restrictions... and we'll get to those in a minute.
But first, here's the basic kosher checklist of foods to avoid:
- Pork
- Shellfish
- Lobster
- Shrimp
- Crab
- Rabbit
- Seafood without fins or scales
- Plus, you can't eat your meat with dairy
Now, as we discuss Passover food restrictions we need to keep in mind that there are two major Jewish groups- Ashkenazi and Sephardi. Both groups prohibit the Chametz during passover, which includes:
Here's the catch- these grains are only prohibited if they're mixed with a leavening agent (like yeast or baking soda), or if they've been in contact with water/moisture for more than 18 minutes.
This is where matzo comes into play. Matzo is an unleavened bread that's made carefully in sync with kosher guidelines and is a staple for Passover. It comes in Matzo (which is like huge crackers), matzo meal, and matzo cake meal.
This post is dedicated entirely to matzo with 4 delicious recipes. Enjoy! (Even if you're not Jewish.)
