SONYA SANFORD | JTA VIA THE NOSHER

YOU MAY ALREADY be familiar with Mimouna, a Sephardi holiday that origi- nated in and marks the end of Passover. On the night following the last day of Passover, the end of eight chametz-free days is celebrated with a feast of treats. In Morocco, neighbors travel to each other’s houses — it is customary to leave all doors open to welcome any possible guests. Tables are laden with symbols to ensure a good year: blossoming spring owers, sh for abundance and fertility, and dates sweet- ened with honey to inspire an equally sweet life. e next day, festivities continue with barbecues, picnics and large gatherings. One of the most common dishes prepared for Mimouna is the crepe-like mu eta (or mou eta).

JEWISHEXPONENT.COM JEWISH EXPONENT MARCH 19, 2020 15 PASSOVER PALATE Recipes to Please the Crowd and De-stress the Chef

JAMIE GELLER | JTA

PASSOVER MAY BE the mother of all kitchen yuntifs, but stay cool and don’t stress. Here are some of my favorite recipes from prior Passovers that you will love this Passover and all year. Last year, 99% of what I made for Passover weren’t actually Passover recipes. Of course they were kosher for Passover, but they didn’t require any major Passover ingredient tweaks. ese recipes were developed with Passover in mind and have become staples in my year-round repertoire because they were super easy and got the most oohs and ahhs. OK, real gourmet chefs don’t keep a tally of how many peo- ple ipped over this or that dish — but I really need to know. e winners on my menu get to come back and try for eternal stardom. And the winners are: Salmon Croquettes with Tropical Fruit Salsa: You can make this even easier by skipping the fresh salmon and using good-quality canned salmon. Zucchini and Red Bell Pepper Sauté: Shamelessly simple and super beautiful, it is pleasing to the eye and the palate. Audience applause told me that the zucchini actually tasted better when prepped this way. Salmon cakes with tropical fruit salsa are an elegant, light and refreshing starter course.
