How do you plan to use matzah for the first Passover sedate meal other than just sitting on a sedate plate? The history of matzo is similar to modern cooking today. The Jews didn’t have time to wait for the bread to rise, so they made do with flatbread. People busy with endless Passover duties can easily appreciate an easy Passover matzah recipe that doesn’t require a lot of preparation.
Most people associate matzo with matzo ball soup or matzo brei or simply eating matzo during Passover. But matzah, when combined with other, perhaps lesser-known ingredients, makes a tasty addition to the seder meal. Here are three recipes that use matzah and matzah meal as the main ingredient.
