BBQ Mushrooms
These sticky, sweet barbecue mushrooms are incredibly quick and easy to make, once you have BBQ sauce in the fridge or larder. Delicious year-round, these are a great vegan choice, delicious as part of a fake-away served with chips or on a jacket potato and topped with cheese. And as the recipe below uses our Kosher for Passover BBQ Sauce, you could even throw them on our Loaded Matzah Nachos.
This sweet, sticky barbecue sauce is great on our KLP Southern-Fried Chicken Drumsticks, can be substituted into our BBQ Brisket recipe or simply served with homemade chips for a Pesach-friendly treat.
Nona’s Chicken Sofrito
Nona would make this traditional Sephardi chicken and potato stew every Pesach. As children, my siblings, my cousins and I would ask for it at every opportunity, but being a meal that takes some hours to make and rarely lasted more than a handful of minutes before being utterly devoured, she’d usually reserve it for special occasions or for Shabbat and Yom Tov.
Marror Mashed Potatoes
Two questions we get asked a lot – 1) “How can I cook potatoes differently for 8 days and nights?”; and 2) “What on earth can I do with all this left over horseradish?” Answer – try confiting the horseradish with garlic to bring out its natural sweet notes, and run the beautifully flavourful infused oil through your mash. We like to top ours with a little extra fresh horseradish grated on top for the bitter heat to shine through. It’s a match made in heaven!

Vegetable Fried Cauliflower Rice
Budget-friendly and supremely healthy, this vegetarian cauliflower rice dish is a great way of mopping up leftover veg and creating a hearty, low carb main or side dish packed with flavour. This veggie fried cauli rice is quick and easy to prepare, and a variable as you like. If you have ingredients you like to hand, they can be chopped up, fried and thrown in.
Courgetti Bolognese
A couple of our favourite alternatives to potato, sweet potato and celeriac wedges provide sweetness and earthiness to a meal, and provide a great way to mix up a Passover menu, especially if your custom is not to eat kitniyot such as rice. This recipe is really quick and easy – the longest part is peeling the veg! Seasoning is entirely to taste and these root vegetables are versatile and will accept virtually any herbs and spices you might throw at them!
Homemade Passover Granola
Whether you’re a cereal lover, a daily toast muncher or a pastry and coffee connoisseur, Pesach breakfasts can be a challenge. Whilst this change of routine compels us to think about the Exodus from Egypt and draws our focus to the meaning of Passover – unquestionably a good thing – suddenly finding oneself without one’s go-to brekkie can throw off the whole day. After all, breakfast is, for many, the most important meal of the day.
The good news is that we don’t have to look too far for inspiration.
Banana Pancakes
Quick, easy and delicious, pancakes are a popular Passover breakfast for many. The batter for these banana pancakes contains just 3 ingredients and no added sugar. With eggs providing a source of protein and bananas bringing electrolyte potassium, fibre and slow-release carbs, these pancakes are also pretty nutritious and will fill you up for hours! The best thing about them? They take literally seconds to make.
