The Chocolate Lady 2008 Vegetarian Peysekh Survival Guide
This year I picked up this amusing little notebook plate at Fishs Eddy. You can write on them with dry-erase markers.
I think I have time to convey two new recipes before yontif. For me the biggest revelation this year was baked plantains. I can’t think of anything easier to make.
Baked Plantains
Heat oven to 400F. Place whole ripe plantains on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes. They will split open at exactly the right moment all by themselves. Serve with butter, coarse salt, and sour cream (or, if you prefer, butter, brown sugar, and sour cream)
Red Pepper Puree for Asparagus (or Other Things)
2 red bell peppers
1 fresh chile pepper (optional)
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
salt
Place the peppers on a sheet of aluminum foil and cook them under the broiler, turning a few times, until the skin is charred all over. Wrap them in the foil until they are cool enough to handle. Peel the peppers and remove the seeds. Puree them with the oil, vinegar and seasonings. Lovely with fresh steamed (peeled!) asparagus)
I also made spinach soup with whole wheat matzo balls. Click on the top photo for the recipe.Labels: Passover peysekh פּסח, peysekhdik פּסחדיק
