When I asked my friends on Facebook, what they served for Passover, brisket was the practically unanimous answer! (Chicken and turkey were also mentioned.) As such, I wanted to share a couple of their ideas for both brisket and special Passover sides. Enjoy!
The “best” brisket recipes:
–Monica Storch: She was kind enough to send me “the BEST” brisket recipe. Since I don’t have time to get the permission rights to share it, I’ll just point you to the source. It’s the “Sweet & Sour Brisket” from JOY OF COOKING. I have actually had that cookbook since I have been married. (This brisket is on page 675 in the 1997 printing…)
-Rebecca Levey: She had another “THE BEST!!!” brisket option. Joan Nathan’s Texas-style brisket (as served to President Johnson) received her vote. You can find it in Jewish Cooking in America.
Ideas for Passover side dishes:
-Beth Feldman: “We have matzoh ball throw down. Heavy balls vs. Light Balls.” (Beth actually has some great Passover recipes – Chicken Fricassee and Stuffed Cabbage – from her grandmother over on her Grandma Dora’s Passover Recipes post.)
–Nancy Horn: My friend Nancy has a recipe for her Foolproof Matzoh Balls for Passover over on her blog.
–Shari: She shares an update on her mom’s recipe for Passover Matzoh Apple Kugel.
Happy Passover/ Chag Pesach Sameach to all who will be participating. If I left out a staple from your family’s Passover table, please let me know in the “Comments” section below.
