What is a typical Passover dinner menu?

The actual Seder meal is also quite variable. Traditions among Ashkenazi Jews generally include gefilte fish (poached fish dumplings), matzo ball soup, brisket or roast chicken, potato kugel (somewhat like a casserole) and tzimmes, a stew of carrots and prunes, sometimes including potatoes or sweet potatoes.

Can you bake with flour on Passover?

During Passover, Jews eat only unleavened bread and avoid anything that contains flour . Of course, matzo is made from flour, but matzo, matzo farfel (broken bits), matzo meal and cake meal for Passover are made from flour that is supervised from the field to the factory to ensure against accidental fermentation.

What are the 6 foods on a seder plate?

There are at least five foods that go on the seder plate: shank bone (zeroa), egg (beitzah), bitter herbs (maror), vegetable (karpas) and a sweet paste called haroset . Many seder plates also have room for a sixth, hazeret (another form of the bitter herbs).

Why is flour forbidden during Passover?

Leavened and fermented grain products are prohibited to commemorate our freedom from Egyptian slavery . When the Jews escaped Egypt (led by Moses), they didn't have time to let their breads rise before going into the desert. Because of this, any type of leavened bread or bread product is prohibited during Passover.

What replaces flour for Passover?

Is cake allowed during Passover?

Cakes for Passover are light because they generally have a high proportion of eggs to make them rise. Because the Torah forbids using leavening during the holiday, most bakers do not prepare pound cakes and butter cakes .

What not to eat on Passover?

During Passover, Ashkenazi Jews traditionally stay away from not only leavened foods like bread, namely barley, oats, rye, spelt, and wheat, but also legumes, rice, seeds, and corn . The ban has been in place since the 13th century, but it's always been controversial.

What are the two main foods usually eaten during seder?

The menu may differ depending on family tradition, but some popular choices include brisket, roasted chicken, gefilte fish and potato kugel. For dessert, many opt for a flourless chocolate cake, macaroons made with coconut, or something made with matzo (like a Matzo Truffle Tart or Berry Matzo Crumble).

What does a biblical Passover meal consist of?

The Torah's Book of Exodus, Chapter 12, offers one description of the instructions for Passover fare: “The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: [Each household] shall eat [lamb] roasted over the fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs ” (Jewish Publication Society translation).
