I love cooking food for Passover.

Maybe it's the change in seasons or just the fact that everyone may be coming home.

Whatever the case, I love the sense of peace and order when getting ready for Passover.

Searching for Passover recipes is fun for me, so I hope my list makes it fun for you.

I'm sure you will find something you like!

Create your own menu but if you need some new ideas check out this Passover 2015 menu and this one from 2016.

Need a schedule? Right here.

So let's get started shall we?

Matzo Ball Soup

This springtime matzo egg drop soup is perfect. It solves the matzo ball dilemma of sinkers or floaters by using just matzo meal and eggs that are dropped by spoonfuls into the hot broth. This forms creative little matzo discs that I just love! #matzoballs #chickensoup #passoverrecipes www.thisishowicook.com

Bonus: Matzo Snack Recipe

This year I tried a quick new snack that reminds me a lot of honey covered granola, only better.

No oats-only matzo farfel-which is really just a fancy name for crumbled matzoh.

Feel free to crumble your own matzoh or if you don't celebrate Passover and have no boxes of matzo on hand, crumbled saltines taste great, too.

There are a myriad of possibilities for this matzo granola snack.

Embellishing this with dried fruits, salted peanuts, a chocolate drizzle, extra salt, and who knows what, but those ideas for Passover snacks will have to wait for a later date.

This quick microwave recipe is one I found in the back of the Hot Bread Kitchen cookbook.

I think you'll like it, even if you don't keep Passover.

This is the perfect snack for those long drives to Grandma's when the kids are  hungry and dinner will be still be awhile.

Kind of matzo brittle makes the perfect snack for Manservant who loves the honey taste.

This Jewish chex mix is addicting so I hid it in the recesses of my just cleaned pantry.

Hope I can find it again when everyone-well, almost everyone- arrives on Friday.

Check it out and check out some of my other foods for Passover that I conveniently listed above.

After all Seder means order and finding recipes each year is always a challenge!

Need some good Passover meals? These recipes have been tested over the years and are requested over and over again.

Happy Pesach to all of you and next year in Jerusalem.

Description

Honey Crunch Matzo brittle is kind of a Jewish granola snack.


Ingredients

Scale

4 T butter
½ c honey
½ c sugar
¼ t salt
3 c matzoh farfel or broken matzoh or saltines
½ c sliced almonds
½ c pecan halves or walnuts


Instructions

Line a 10 x 15" pan with parchment paper.

Combine butter, honey, sugar, and salt in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high until boiling and golden about 5-6 minutes, stirring after 2 ½ minutes. Stir in matzoh pieces and nuts. Microwave about 2.5  minutes longer , check and then you may need to microwave up to 2.5 minutes longer or until everything is golden.

To test if this is ready have a cold glass of water handy. Drop a small spoonful into water. If it is ready, it will turn crisp. Transfer mixture to baking sheet and let it cool for a few minutes.

With wet hands, firmly press down into an even layer. Let stand until firm, about 1 hour. Store in an airtight container.

    These really do look great. Years ago, I made some sugar cookies that were partly flavoured with honey and they were outstanding so I know what you mean. I love crunchy snacks. Unfortunately, we are in our third lockdown with stay-at-home orders, it's really disheartening. Easter came and went without family.

    Can I come to your house for Easter? I'll gladly eat anything you serve. It all looks wonderful. Just keep this brittle away from me because I would fill on it before I got to the meal. 🙂

    Oh la la! So many good things here, Abbe! My best friend years ago when we lived in Louisville always cooked up a storm for Passover every year and it was al so yummy delicious! But she definitely didn't make this Honey Crunch Matzoh Brittle, bet it is scrumptious! The Cardamom Pie sounds great too, it all does!!! Have a good rest of the week!

    We make something similar with nuts and jaggery (unrefined sugar). So I can imagine how wonderful this would taste.

      It won't last long and even though this isn't a conventional brittle-it is similar to granola, but not chewy. Enjoy!

    all your Passover faves look do good. I have to try the macaroons 🙂
    and your matzoh crunch looks lovely too, thinking about adding chocolate to it.

      The macaroons are always a hit. Add the chocolate as a drizzle on top. I think it would be too hot to stir in.

    Everything looks wonderful, Abbe! You have had some big storms recently. The family of good friends here were affected by both of them - once trying to get into Denver and more recently trying to get out of Denver to get here for a family funeral this past weekend. Everything looks delicious and what a great round-up of Passover recipes. Wishing you a Happy Passover, Abbe.

    Your matzoh brittle looks irresistible! I'd have to give much of it away or I'd devour it all. I heard from Maddy---she lost lots of apple limbs and went out to shake the snow off her beloved peach tree. It was in the 80's here today---but we could have snow next week the way weather goes around here 🙂

      They are tough, but we still lost some big limbs. And it bloomed even after it was down. Trust me-this is like egg salad wit sauteed onions and liver pate. You would love it!
