Children, Israel, Food, Torah – things I love and talk about often!

Easy Pesach?

This Pesach I really do not have time for cooking. Also, I constantly forget to kasher/buy utensils that I might need. So I need to improvise.

Since I had different kinds of vegetables, thanks to my food-shopping-loving husband, I decided to use all of them in one pot. And, what’s better than roasted vegetables during spring? He got such amazing cauliflower that I started to eat it raw. Surely, it couldn’t be worse cooked, right?

So, I documented the very easy process of marinating the vegetables for a little bit in red wine, garlic, balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I used the limited spices I had – salt, pepper, dried basil, dried thyme. Not because it’s better – because that’s all we bought kosher-for-Passover.

I first put the potatoes and onions into the pan and baked them at 410 F for about 10 minutes. Then I added delicata squash and eggplant. Another 20 minutes in, I’ve added broccoli and cauliflower.

And – here we are – about 20 more minutes and the healthiest easiest Passover-friendly dish is ready!

To compliment it I made chicken cutlets – plain old chicken cutlets, but Passover version. I forgot my meat tenderizer in hametz drawer, so I had to improvise and used knife sharpener to beat my chicken cutlets up  – what’s a woman to do? 🙂

I always cut the cutlets in half to make them thinner. Then I dipped them in the egg whisked with a tiny bit of mayonnaise. After that, I dipped then in the matzah meal mixed with spices and fried them on high fire for just about 2 minutes on each side.

And it was delicious!!!

    Will This Pesach Be Different Than Any Other Pesach? – Noshing Across the Nation

    […] Pesach is coming, and the Israeli elections seem to be fitting into a timing that is supposed to be of reflection, self-cleansing and preparing for a better, free future. Free of hatred, free of bias, free of corruption and most importantly, free of fear of any kind. Unfortunately, what we’ve seen has been too far from it. שׂאנת הנם – baseless hatred, is alive and well, the upcoming unity holiday notwithstanding. I am very much interested in Israeli politics, but I do not think I have the right to judge anyone, including the reigning head of the state even though I do think that he is at the top for a bit too long. I remember his first elections in 1996, the first time I went to Israel. A man is only a man, and no one can withstand the temptations that almost unlimited power gives, except Moshe Rabeinu. […]
