Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

Date Haroset

Long-cooked Eggs

(Huevos Haminados)

Lemony Leek and Mushroom Soup

Eggplant Matzo Mina

Potatoes with Parsley Sauce

Sautéed Carrots with Almonds

Dessert of your choice

 

8 to 10 servings

 

Additions to the menu: The Mock Chopped Liver from the previous menu,

though Eastern European in character, is nonetheless a great Passover

appetizer, and I would recommend making some as a premeal " nosh " for this

menu, too. You might add a simple tossed salad. For dessert, the

Sephardic Wine and Fruit Pudding is particularly fitting with this menu's

theme.

 

Long-cooked Eggs are the only eggs used in this meal. Can be made

dairy-free by following the suggested substitutions in the recipes.
