Instead of making leek patties, we make this tangy relish that combines leek and pomegranate. I’ve never made leek patties for our Rosh Hashanah simanim. (We do have a recipe for them here on Between Carpools.) It’s not something my family would enjoy eating. For a few years I made Yussi Weisz’s leek and olive…

Feta Eggplant Carpaccio
Yes, it’s worthwhile to share yet another version of Eggplant Carpaccio on BCP. This time, it’s a creamy dairy one and you are going to love it! We love sharing Kosher Kopykat recipes here on Between Carpools. These are our recipes that have been inspired from kosher restaurants–usually based on a specific dish we enjoyed…
Leek Jalapeno Dip
With lots and lots of sautéed leeks and onions, this is one of the favorites we’re looking forward to again this Pesach. My friend Malky Blum calls me whenever she comes up with something that she knows will make a perfect BCP recipe. Do you remember these Lemony Jalapeños? Yup, that’s also from Malky. This…
Roasted Eggplant Pepper Dip
You can get so much flavor from just a few, fresh ingredients in this chunky dip–no blending required. Each year, our favorite new discoveries over Yom Tov become next year’s new BCP recipes. And last year, after I made all the classic BCP favorite Pesach dips (as in Sweet Romanian Eggplant Dip, Creamy Avocado, Crushed…
Basics: Pesach Duck Sauce
Once you have this basic in your fridge, there’s so many things you can do with it! This all-purpose condiment will save the day. Today, it’s hard to find a cooking ingredient that doesn’t have a kosher-for-Passover version. I sound old when I tell my children that when I was a kid, the only cookie…
Homemade Pesach Ketchup
This Pesach ketchup is a key ingredient in the Miriam’s General Tso Chicken from her new book Real Life Pesach Cooking. If you use bottled ketchup, go ahead and take advantage of the convenience. If you don’t, however, this is a fabulous solution! Miriam says, “This ketchup recipe was originally created by my friend and…
Chaya’s Chatzilim
There is nothing better than chatzilim with challah. Or sourdough. Ever since I bought my first Fresh and Easy cookbook, this is the recipe that I would prepare again and again without fail. How funny is that? Even the obsessive baking of Everything But The Kitchen Sink Cookies came later on. At that point, I…
The Olive Salad That Can Be Called A Dip
Don’t you love when that impulsive recipe becomes a keeper? My sisters hosted a shalosh seudos this summer, and while I recognized most of the dishes (maple side of salmon, Sushi Salad, Israeli salad… to name a few) there was this one salad that I never tasted before. And it was so so good. Different….
Guacamole with Tri-Color Chips
It’s that simple, fresh thing that everyone loves. Sometimes, we rack our brains to think of something new and interesting to serve over Yom Tov. But you know what? Sometimes you don’t even need to think so hard. Sometimes, it’s the things that are the simplest–the ones that are so obvious you don’t even think…
Basics: How To Make Garlic Confit
Also: how to make it in bulk and save time and money while doing so. I used to make garlic confit every Friday. Ever since my family was introduced to the goodness of hot challah (or sourdough) on a Friday night accompanied by garlic that is charred and caramelized just so that it spreads like…
