Passover’s Coming — Foolproof Matzoh Balls, Matzoh Tacos & Matzoh Pizza Recipes

04/12/2014 by The Mama Maven

Passover is almost here! Here are some of my go-to recipes for the holiday. Matzoh Balls are a must (drop them straight into chicken soup or keep some chicken or veggie broth on hand. My husband and I created this Matzoh Taco recipe when we were dating back in 2002. Lastly, Matzoh Pizza is also a fave.

We’ll be serving these recipes all next week, as well as the standard peanut butter and jelly on matzoh. This year I bought Passover friendly Matzoh meal  “Bread Crumbs” to bread chicken with and Gluten Free Passover Pasta to make also.

Do you have a good recipe for matzoh balls? Try mine! It’s based on the original recipe by Streit’s. It’s also printable.

  • You can put them right into a soup or store them in the fridge for a couple of days before adding to soup.

Matzo Tacos

If you are Ashkenazi (which I am) you may not want to add the beans (but if you follow Sephardic traditions, it’s okay). We added the beans because we enjoyed them. Your grandmother may not approve.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can refried Pinto Beans we like Old El Paso's Refried Pinto Beans - you can also take a can of black beans, heat up slightly and puree when it cools.
  • 1 box matzoh usually adults will eat two pieces of matzoh, kids may eat 1/2 a piece
  • Sour Cream we use low fat
  • Mashed Avocado or guacamole
  • Salsa any strength you want, kids may prefer a mild version
  • Shredded regular or reduced fat cheddar cheese or a Mexican style blend
  • Extra Add-ons:
  • Tomatoes
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Mushrooms sauteed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast pieces of matzoh in oven for 5 minutes (just keep an eye on it).
  • Spoon on beans and sprinkle cheese, bake for 5 minutes.
  • For my super picky kids, we kept it pretty simple - beans, cheese, matzoh.
  • My husband and I like toppings, so we piled on the tomatoes, guac, salsa and sour cream. And it was delicious!

Nancy Johnson Horn, The Mama Maven Blog
The secret is to toast the matzoh before you add the sauce and cheese.

    I LOVE matzoh balls but I can never get them just right. This looks easy and straight forward. This I might be able to manage! Now I want one, passover or no, they are good anytime.
