Vegetarian Stuffed Aubergines
One of the most joyful things about cooking is experimentation, and we love a versatile recipe. A vegetarian alternative to our meat-stuffed aubergines, the recipe below is for a mushroom, spinach and tomato-filled aubergine, topped with cheese, but almost everything about this recipe is optional. A great way to use up whatever vegetables, herbs and greens are knocking about in the fridge, the only essential part here is the aubergine!
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!
