Creamy Avocado Dip
|
It’s simple, but it’s definitely a staple. Back in 2017, we posted all our favorite Pesach dips together in two posts, with a few dips in each post. These are more than staples–they’re annual must haves. Because of the format of our new recipe index’s search features, we’re separating these dips into their own posts…

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
A pure and delicious eggplant salad with the simplest of ingredients. There are two types of great cooks. Some have knowledge of cooking before they officially start (perhaps they built up their knowledge little by little). Others knew nothing–they didn’t even know how to boil water for pasta before learning and catching on quickly. Rudy…

Crispy Pargiyot over Caulirice and Israeli Salad
That easy, comes-together-in-minutes Chol Hamoed dinner that’s fresh and flavorful. I believe Pesach foods should be just as delicious as all year foods–no compromises. So my dinners for chol hamoed mirror my usual weeknight dinners with just slight adaptations. Here I baked pargiyot (skinless, boneless chicken thighs) because they’re incredibly tender and juicy, then chopped…

Caramelized Pearl or Cipollini Onions
This is the perfect side dish to your steaks and other meats. Steaks are one of my favorite mains to serve, especially when there’s a long Yom Tov and a lot of meals–everyone appreciates something grilled fresh (even if it’s on a grill pan) as a change from those long braised meats. There’s more about…

Teriyaki Portobello Salad with Spiralized Carrots and Beets
This is a beautiful, new salad with the perfect amount of umami and crunch. When Renee Muller started writing a column for Ami Magazine she asked me for advice. I told her no one will invite you for meals anymore. And so it came to be. (No worries, I invite her!) In my case, my sister-in-law…

Roasted Chickpeas
Elevate your hummus/chummus plate (or how to keep it simple!) with roasted chickpeas. Chummus plates are a great item to serve as an appetizer, or on the table alongside the appetizer. Dressing up the traditional chummus plate is a great idea as well. Read our post on how to plate your hummus (+ 2 more…

Caramel Date Truffles
Three ingredients. Beyond easy. Beyond yum. And so feel-good! I first served this on Pesach, but they became such a favorite that I now make them all year round – they’re really amazing, special, and the perfect thing to keep in the freezer to bring out for dessert. I love that they’re not junky –…

The 9×13 Life: Garlic Confit And Blistered Tomato Rice
Also known as, the dangerous rice that you can eat all in one sitting. We have baked rice in a 9×13 before and we are ready to do it again. This recipe, though, is very different. More 2023 if you will. Sometimes, the side dish is the star of the show. You know? This baked…
