The nutty dip that fills in for a favorite. Years ago, I first learned about this concept when one of my neighbor’s mothers-in-law came for Pesach. Since then, it’s been a Pesach staple. While it was originally published in Passover Made Easy, I’ve double the recipe here because it makes it much easier to blend….

Sweet Romanian Eggplant Dip
The #1 most made Pesach dip Since this recipe was first featured here six years ago, it’s been the #1 must-have go-to among us at BCP. It goes on all of our Pesach menus, every single year. We love it because it’s loaded with fresh flavor, yet it’s still light and healthy (unlike the heavier…
Rudy’s Eggplant Salad

Since I like changing it up a bit,…
