Passover Recipes
Osem 2013
GKC loves our friends at Osem and all the terrific strides they make each year to make amazing products for Passover and all year round. This year they have some ground breaking products that you must try. Here are a few of my favorites. It is now possible to bake your own kosher-for-Passover bread with the aid of Osem’s Homestyle Passover Roll Mix. The result is a deliciously light and flavorsome bread-roll uncannily similar to its non-Passover twin. I experimented with the mix by stuffing the rolls prior to baking with an assortment of meats and vegetables. The results are super ...

* The cRc approves the use of whole grain quinoa for Pesach on the following conditions:
The quinoa is imported exclusively from Bolivia and packed by companies that pack whole grain quinoa exclusively. While there may be others,Ancient Harvest and Trader Joe's are two brands that only import quinoa from Bolivia and only pack whole grain quinoa.
The quinoa must be carefully inspected by hand before Pesach.
This is done by spreading quinoa, one layer at a time, on a board or plate, and check to be sure that there are no other grains or foreign matter mixed in with the quinoa. [This type of inspection would not help with Quinoa flour, pasta or any other version of quinoa which is not permitted on Pesach].

Q: How do I make shmura Matzo balls lighter and fluffier? Mine always come out too dense. Helen, Los Angeles
A: Shmura matzo is tougher to work with. To make them lighter, first of all, do not handle them much. Just wet your hands and gently form the balls and drop them in the water or broth to cook. The more you work the batter, the tougher they become. Second, use some seltzer (from 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup in the batter, try this recipe . Also, in shmura matza balls, try using chicken fat instead of oil (I do not recommend this for people with high cholesterol or other health issues), it adds a lot of flavor to the heavy taste of shmura, try Bubby's Matzah Balls.
Q: It seems that there is never enough snack food in the house on Passover. My kids are always hungry and I don't know what else to fill them up with that is not too unhealthy? Any suggestions? Chana, Brooklyn, NY
A: We all struggle with that. We make numerous batches of Passover muffins, Cherry, Banana Carrot Muffins, Carrot, and Potato-Yogurt Cakes, these seem to be enjoyed by all and keep them full for awhile. We also like the Kessem Cheese N' Rolls, especially some of the new flavors like Pizza, and cheese and olive. They taste like hot cheese rolls out of the oven and are gluten free in addition to Pesachdik.
