Try some of Stephanie Dreyer’s vegan recipes to get your menu going;
A Sample Vegan Passover Menu
I love the timing with Spring and the order to the meal. It is a chance for me to showcase the plant-based foods that enrich my life. For me, it is truly a celebration of food and my choice to convert to Judaism 10 years ago. I take great pride in planning my Seder meal and am excited to share this sample Passover menu with you. I hope it inspires a delicious vegan Passover feast on your table!
Vegan Chopped Liver by Jewish Food Hero
In addition to hummus and vegetables, try this traditional appetizer from Jewish Food Hero, which uses mushrooms and walnuts instead of liver. Serve it with celery and matzoh to nosh on during your Seder.
Matzoh Ball Soup
This recipe from Mayim Bialik’s cookbook, Mayim’s Vegan Table, is my favorite matzoh ball soup recipe.
Herbed Lentils
This recipe is easy and delicious. Using bright, green herbs and freshly squeezed lemon juice, it ushers in the smell and taste of Spring. Grab the recipe here or use
Quinoa Patties
Observant Ashkenazi Jews don’t eat soy, corn, or beans during Passover, so these quinoa patties are a great option for a main course during the meal. By veganizing this recipe with Follow Your Heart’s VeganEgg and Daiya cheese, you get all the flavor of these patties without the animal products!
Caprese Chopped Salad
This colorful salad uses baby heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil, and nut cheese. It is a light side that complements the other herbs and flavors of this menu nicely.
Vegetable Kugel
This kugel from What Jew Wanna Eat is loaded with vegetables, including potatoes, sweet potatoes, zucchini, and leeks. Replace the eggs with a replacer without comprising any of the flavor in the recipe.
Pistachio Apple Cake by Jewish Food Hero
From Jewish Food Hero’s new cookbook, this apple cake is the perfect dessert to complete your Pesach menu.
