Passover delicacies
The traditional foods of Passover are all very well—delicious, in fact!—but here I speak not of them, but of the uses to which we've put our matza this year in the service of luncheon variety. The smash hit of previous years(for me, anyways) was the cream cheese and horseradish sandwich, which I discovered my first Passover and have enjoyed ever since. I didn't get a chance to make any this year, however, because of a lack of horseradish; but the gap was filled by many other delicious selections. To wit:
- peanut butter and jam sandwich on matza
- peanut butter and banana sandwich on matza
- cream cheese and jam sandwich on matza
- the old breakfast standby, butter and marmalade on matza
- hummus, cucumber, and red onion sandwich on matza
- tunafish sandwich on matza
- cheese and mustard sandwich on matza
- cream cheese and olive sandwich on matza
And those are just the ones I ate. Leah has her own favorites. I also conceived of the matza pizza, with tomato sauce and mozzarella and heated in the toaster oven, but I did not have an opportunity to try it out. And of course, there is the absolute best and crowning matza achievement (a dessert, natch): peanut butter and melted chocolate chips on matza. Truly the food of kings!
