Passover starts at sundown tomorrow and we've got you covered over at AOL Food. Check out our Matzo Ball 101 (the secret ingredient, as we reveal, is schmaltz -- more than a sentimental moment, it's literally chicken fat!) and oodles of other recipes including a delectable-lookin' Merlot-drenched beef brisket with prunes. So take a gander before you hustle out the door to do your shopping tonight.
Whatever dessert you end up having for Passover, please avoid those macaroons in the can. At the Passover Seder, we traditionally ask 4 questions. I propose adding a 5th question: Why on all other nights do we eat baked goods that come in bags, boxes, or direct from the oven and on this night we eat baked goods from a can?
Even moving past canned macaroons, I'm not typically a big fan of Passover desserts. These kosher for Passover chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting, however, are so tasty that I could eat them year round. One of my friends even told me it was the best cupcake she had ever had!
They are extremely rich - almost like fudge - so if you have mini cupcake wrappers, you might consider using those instead of normal-sized ones. You could also make the cupcake recipe in cake format.
The recipe can be found on Cupcake Project.
Though we are not Jewish, my daughter attends a Jewish preschool.
This week, in preparation for Passover, her school has been sending home wonderful hand-outs full of activities on how
to celebrate and honor this holiday.
My favorite hand-out, of course, was the one with five pages of
Passover recipes including these matzah recipes. These would be fun to do with kids if you've got 'em.
Chocolate Matzah
1 large package chocolate chips
1 tbsp margarine
4 matzah
Melt chocolate and margarine over low heat. Stir to prevent burning. Break matzah into pieces and stir into
chocolate. Cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Pour chocolate matzah mixture onto waxed paper. Cover with another
sheet of waxed paper and flatten with a rolling pin. Refrigerate. When mixture hardens, peel off waxed paper and break
chocolate into pieces.
