Pesach - Passover Seder Elements
The Table
White Tablecloth
Matzah in special matze tashe or wrapped in white cover
Wine
Elijah’s cup – can use any chalice or wind glass
Bowl of salt water
Basin and towel for washing the hands
2 Candles
Bottle of Red Wine or Grape juice
On the Passover Plate
Shank bone
Boiled egg in shell
Parsley
Lettuce
Horseradish
Charoseth
Recipe for Charoseth:
1 Apple peeled and grated
½ cup ground walnuts, almonds or pecans
1 teaspoon of honey
Cinnamon
Red wine or grape juice
Mix all ingredients together using a little grape juice or wine to moisten. Minced raisins, dates, or figs can be added. Mixture should have a clay-like texture (and appearance – but not taste!).
The Meal
Traditional dishes include Matze ball soup, Gefillte Fish, Roast Lamb or Chicken, Nut cake, Banana or carrot cake, Apple cake or Fruit. These and other recipes can easily be found on the web these days. In Jewish homes, flour is replaced by matze meal in all cakes, the matze balls in the soup and the stuffing in the roast. Kosher meals do not mix meat and milk in the same meal.
