Preparing for Pesach

This will be my first pesach as a vegetarian and have no clue what I'm going to be eating during that time! Any good recipes or ideas? I thought I would start asking around now so I can get the stuff in on time.

Welp depends.  Are you sepharadic descent or ashkenazic.  Considering that Ashkenazis don't permit rice on Passover and considering the fact that Im morrocon I have a not boring recipe.

Something Morrocon called "Madbucha"

slice 4 tomatoes

slice 2 red peppers

put it on pan with 1 tablespoon oil

add this israeli stuff called "schug" or just crushed red pepper something really spicey.  And yeap you wait for it to broil bake simme whatever it does until its ready.

In addition make this vegetable soup with seasoning,Cabbage,butternut squash,green squash,carrots,garbanzo beans and then in seperate bowl make couscous but im not sure if youre allowed to eat that on passover forgot.

Welp in any case on passover exchange the couscous for rice cuz you can eat that on passover at least for me.  =)

Thanks for the reply! I am currently going through the process of conversion and the shul I go to are ashkenazi and my ancesters a few generations back were also ashkenazi (they converted to catholicism when they got to the UK).  

Thats awesome  =) hopefully I didn't mess up the recipe probly did its okay  its still kosher i hope =)

Hi Jack,

Potatoes are usually a staple at Pesach. Carrot and yams can be made into tzimmes. Roasted veggies are great (squash, zucchini, peppers, onions). Lots of salads: beet, israeli, cabbage, cucumber, carrot.

How long have you been going through the conversion process? I am a convert to Judaism myself.

About 2 years so far.  I could have done it quicker but I said to myself that I didn't want to rush it, afterall I have my whole life ahead.  

My husband and I converted together. It took us about 2 1/2 years (plus years of studying leading up to that point). Best of luck to you.

I have some ideas for pesach for those of us who are veggie friendly. Matzaball soup with veggie broth, nut pate, sweet potatoes baked in light coconut milk.  Spinach souffle, carrot soufle, etc.  Look into parve recipes in most jewish or kosher cookbooks.  The kosher by design series is outstanding, though a bit heavy on the fat content.  There is another one I like which is low fat jewish cooking.  I also think that many of the veggie webs would help.  Just remember to discontinue grains, breads, etc.  

I didn't see this until today.

You should be able to have most vegetarian meals that are free of pulses (peas, beans, lentils, green beans, corn, etc) and most grains (rice, quinoa, buckwheat, spelt).

I would substitute matzah farfel (a lightly crumbled matzah) and matzah meal for the grains and flour in the recipes. For other substitutes see:

Some people doen't use fish either for Pesach but you should ask your rabbi about this.

Whole wheat matzah is available if you look for it.  If you don't eat eggs or dairy, then getting enough protein could be a problem.

I found something nice!

Vegan Passover

I'm not a vegetarian and I'm struggling to find healthy food for pesach (I'm ashkenazi, so no kitnyos)! So I can't imagine how difficult it is for you guys.

Just out of curiosity, what would an ashkenzazi vegan who is non-gebrokts eat? It sounds like they'd be restricted to salad and uncooked matzah.

that vegan passover looks really good.

I would guess: salads, cooked veggies, various nuts (some are considered kitniot) and fruit and uncooked matzah.

Rabbi Schwartz of CRC rules that Quinoa is not kitniot but it needs to be purchased from a source that mills only quinoa so it is pure.
