Brush with oil as soon as it comes out of the oven. Sun-Dried Tomato and Olive Tapenade Recipe from my dear Sonya Sanford. Blend: ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes + ⅓ cup kalamata olives + 1 garlic + 1 tbsp lemon + 2 tbsp olive oil + 2 tbsp mayo Moroccan Fish in Spicy Tomato Sauce Approx 10 pieces of tilapia 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes 1 15 oz whole peeled tomatoes, chopped down 2 cups water 6 peeled garlic cloves (I kept them whole) 2 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp cumin Place all ingredients into a large frying pan (it's ok if the fish gets layered), cover halfway, and simmer for 30 min. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro. Carrot Cumin and Parsley Salad 15 carrots- peeled and trimmed Place carrots in a large pot of salted water and cook for 30-40 minutes until tender. Drain water, cut down to even cubes or use a wavy vegetable cutter and season with: 2 lemons- squeezed 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt 2 tsp cumin 2 tsp sumac 2 tsp paprika 1 bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped. Shallot, Beetroot and Avocado salad 8 shallots- Peel and slice 8 shallots and saute them in oil, with about 1 tbsp sugar, on low for 20-30 minutes until caramelized. 6 beets- (unpeeled) cover each one with oil, and salt, place on a sheet pan and cover the whole pan with foil (I don't bother with individually wrapping each beet) Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour - 1.5 hours. Peel the beets and slice or cube. I sliced perfect thin circles with a mandolin, was a beauty. Layer spinach or arugula, with the beets, candied shallots and optional avocado, sliced radishes and crunch toppings.

Seasoned them with equal parts of all of these>>> cinnamon paprika coriander cumin salt pepper and olive oil Mix well together, and spice it well! Don't be afraid to go heavy! I heated the cast iron bottom of the tagine on the stovetop, and seared each of the chicken thighs (took 2 batches) just browning the ends- the inside still totally raw. about 5-8 minutes. I combined all the chicken thighs together in the tagine- layering it upward, covered and baked it at 350 for 1 hour. When it comes out, and remove the top, the smoke poofs out and its amazing🙂 Normally, you'd put the vegetables into the tagine with the chicken, and bake all together, but I ran out of space so I did the vegetables separately. Tagine Vegetables 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets Red potatoes, quartered (can use fingerling or baby potatoes too) 2 onions, roughly chopped Combine these vegetables with the above tagine spices - be generous!! And olive oil. Cook uncovered in a 9*13- and pack it in- so it steams and bakes together (as opposed to a sheet pan where it roasts) At 350 for 1.5 hours, until vegetables are completely soft and edges and tops are browning.

Enjoy :) Instagram.com/mymamenu MaMenu Pesach Passover Archive HERE Wine Salmon: 4 fillets salmon salt 1/2 cup orange juice 1 tbsp lemon juice 2 tbsp white wine Season salmon with salt, and marinate in the juices and wine. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. Variation: Cube the salmon, and serve over salad. Works with other varieties of fish too. Roast Chicken with Pineapple Salsa 1 onion, sliced 1 pineapple, cubed 6 chicken legs Salt 1 cup dry red wine Salt chicken evenly. Layer roasting pan with onion slices, then the chicken, top with pineapple. Pour wine all over pan. Cover and bake at 350 for 3 hours. Onion Marmalade over Roast Beef Roast Beef: Slice 1 onion and cube 1-2 sweet potatoes and cover the bottom of a baking pan. Place roast on top, season well with salt, and place fat side UP. Pour 1-2 cups of wine of choice over roast. Cover and bake at 350- for 1 hour PLUS + 15 minute per pound of meat. Let it cool completely, refrigerate, then slice. Carefully rewarm, making sure not to overcook. Onion Marmalade: (I will add this over the meat once plating) 2 large onions, thinly sliced Saute in oil with 1/4 cup sugar Caramelize for 15 min. Add one cup dry red wine let the liquid evaporate, simmering for another 15 min. Season with salt. Wine Braised London Broil Marinate meat in a ziploc bag with olive oil, red wine, lemon juice, orange juice and salt. Marinate for minimum 1 hour to overnight. (The longer the better, since the cooking is very quick) Bring to room temp before broiling or grilling. Preheat broiler- and broil for about 5 minutes per side- depending on size and doneness. Medium rare is best. Let cool and slice. Rewarm with cooking juices. French Onion Soup Slice 4 large onions, and cook in oil for approx 30-45 min, until deep brown color. Stir often. Season with salt. Add 1 cup dry red wine, and cook it out for about 5 minutes. Cover with about 8 cups water, salt it once again, and boil together for about 10 minutes to bring it all together. Is it really a French Onion Soup without the bread + cheese? Oh yes, it's flavorful enough, hearty and yum, and a nice change from chicken soup. Not necessary, but you can definitely make it dairy, and add cheese. Lechaim! #MaMenu

Carrot crisps Peel a few carrots, then using the peeler- peel down the carrot into strips. Fry these strips in oil and serve over the soup. sweet potato boats *veg option Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Let cool, slice in half. Load with any vegetable mixture- I will use the above jicama and cucumber slaw. Wine braised London Broil Marinate meat with olive oil, red wine, lemon juice, orange juice and salt. Marinate for min. 1 hour to overnight. Bring to room temp before broiling or grilling. Preheat broiler- and broil for about 5 minutes per side- depending on size and doneness. Medium rare is best. Let cool and slice. Rewarm with cooking juices. *You can also bake at 350 for a few hours, making sure it doesn't dry out by having plenty of wine, water or stock in the pan. *brisket or roast: cover with lots of onions, chopped tomatoes, pour wine over all, and a generous sprinkling of salt. Bake at 200 for a loooong time (overnight?) or 350 degrees 1 hour/pound. parsnip mash Prepare 2 lbs. parsnips, peeled and sliced, bring to a boil in salted water, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 5-10 until some liquid cooks out. Drain reserving the cooking liquid. Add 1/4 cup oil, and blend until smooth, adding cooking water to reach smooth consistency. Season with salt to taste. I placed the mash in a large ziplock bag, kept it warm over the sternos at the seder- or you can keep warm in hot water. I snipped the corner of the bag when serving, and scooped a small mound onto each plate. Roasted Yuca + Beets Yuca Peel and thinly slice yuca root. Season with olive oil and salt. Bake evenly as one layer at 450 degrees for 20 min, flip them over and bake for another 5-10 minutes. Beets Peel and thinly slice beets. Roast at 450 degrees with olive oil and salt for 15- 20 minutes. Combine and serve together. Nut and Lemon Pie Crust: 1 cup ground almonds 1/3 cup oil 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg yolk Mix and press into 9" round pan, bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Lemon Mixture: 6 eggs whites 1/2 cup sugar Beat, until very creamy white and fluffy 1/2 cup oil 6 egg yolks 1/3 cup lemon juice Whisk above 3 ingredients together in a separate bowl. Slowly pour into egg white mixture with machine on. Pour lemon mixture onto nut crust and freeze. Pavlova + pineapple curd Meringue: 8 egg whites 2 cups sugar beat until stiff peaks form (hold over your head and they won't fall out trick :)) Spread onto 2 sheet pans, spooning on to make 2 9" circles. (you can also make mini personal pies) Bake at 275 degrees for 75 minutes, then turn off oven and leave in for 1 hour. (these can be made way in advance, store airtight at room temp) Pineapple Curd 2 cups fresh pineapple puree (well blended in food processor, strain out as much liquid as possible) 2/3 cups sugar 6 egg yolks pinch of salt Whisk together, place in saucepan and turn to medium heat, whisk constantly so it does not burn. Cook until mixture thicken. I will update the timing, as not sure how long it may take. Spread pineapple curd over pavlova and top with fresh fruit (mango, kiwi, pineapple chunks or whatever fruit you have handy) **PSA I follow my family and Chabad's Passover food customs. I only use fruits and vegetables that have a peel (as a protective barrier to anything Chametz that may have come near it). I also use almost nothing processed. (There are a few exceptions 😉) Therefore no spices other than salt. Please adjust and adapt according to your customs. #seder #passover #pesach #menu
