Snapper Fillets in Pistachio-Matza Crust

Thursday, March 18th, 2010 Print This Post Print This Post USer rating

½ cup shelled unsalted pistachios
2 tablespoons unsalted margarine or butter, plus additional for the pan
½ cup Streit’s Matza Meal
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons grated onion
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest or 1 ½ teaspoons of prepared white horseradish, drained
1 ¾ – 2 pounds red snapper fillets or other non-oily white-flesh fish fillets

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread the pistachios on a foil lined baking sheet and toast until fragrant, approximately 8-10 minutes. Toast the matza meal at the same time. Melt the margarine or butter in a small baking dish in the oven, then add the matza meal to it and season it with salt and pepper. Stir well. Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove the pistachios from the oven and let cool slightly. Chop the nuts coarsely. Combine the pistachios with the toasted matza meal. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees.

In small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, onion, lemon zest, and/or the horseradish. Lightly grease a baking pan large enough to accommodate the fish fillets in one layer. Sprinkle the fish on both sides with salt and pepper and place in the prepared pan. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the fish and top with the pistachio-matza crumbs. Bake just until he fish is opaque throughout, 10 -15 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

I can’t believe they are kosher for Passover!

We love tasting new products and especially enjoy to share them with you. Here are a few new items that we really can’t believe are kosher for Passover. Try them while they last in stores, and let us know what you think!

Kessem Cheese N’Rolls: OMG! These cheesy soft rolls are incredible. They look like chometz, they taste like chometz but they are not! Crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside, they taste like a melted cheese roll. I dipped mine in a homemade marinara sauce and created a kosher for Passover pizza roll (now my kids are going to be thrilled and actually full this Passover). The bread like texture is made from a manioc starch, which is a derivative of root vegetables and tapioca. The product is available nationwide for Passover and year round. For more information go to www.kessemfoods.com

Osem Passover Mini Mandels: The mini-mandel, or soup crouton, devoured by children and adults year round, has been greatly improved this year by Osem Foods. Passover mini-mandels were a little mushy in the past and the taste was very bland. The new Osem Passover Mini Mandels are crispier, tastier, and crunchier than ever. Made from potato starch, they are light and airy, just like the chometz ones. No kitniyos, and non-gebrokts these are great for everyone. I may buy extra bags and use them after Passover. The product is available nationwide. For more information go to www.osemusa.com or comments@osemusa.com

Homemade Marinara Dipping Sauce

Sunday, March 14th, 2010 Print This Post Print This Post USer rating

marinara

10 vine-ripened tomatoes, cut in ½ inch pieces
4 shallots or 1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
¼ cup olive oil
½ red pepper, chopped
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons red wine
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a sauté pan. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add the red pepper and cook for 5 more minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and fresh tomatoes. Turn down the heat and cook for approximately 20 – 30 minutes until all vegetables are soft and blended. Add the kosher salt and red wine. Turn up the heat and boil the sauce for 2 minutes. Add the basil and turn off the heat and serve as a dipping sauce or add pasta and make into a meal.

This can be made 3 days in advance and kept in the refrigerator.
