We have some tried-and-true Passover recipes in my house—my matzo brei, matzo ball soup, and a big green salad always find their way onto the menu at some point. I like to mix things up, too, with variations on my mom's brisket, flavorful roasted chickens, and sides packed with nourishing, filling ingredients. Here are 36 delicious meals for your Passover Seder that everyone will love. Chag sameach!
Brisket & Potatoes
This slow-braised brisket is cooked in a Dutch oven, starting on the stovetop with vegetables before the brisket and potatoes finish low and slow in the oven.
Spatchcock Chicken
This marinated spatchcock chicken is braised with potatoes and string beans for a complete, impressive-looking meal that's surprisingly easy to pull off on a weeknight or for a holiday table.
Mini Matzo Ball Soup
This cozy, comforting soup pairs lots of fresh herbs and shredded chicken with mini matzo balls that fit perfectly on your spoon.
Vegan Caesar with Garlicky Za'atar Matzo
A big green salad topped with tangy vegan Caesar and the most delicious garlicky za'atar matzo. It's favorite way to eat matzo without having a stomachache.
Matzo Brei
My go-to, savory take on the Passover classic, made with cheese curds for incredible pulls. It's my oldest's favorite year-round, not just during Passover.
String Beans with Almonds & Tahini
One of my favorite sides, inspired by a dish Adi and I had in Anguilla. It's always a crowdpleaser.
Stuffed Cabbage
Just like the one my grandmother used to make, always served with ketchup and grape jelly.
Stuffed Cabbage Soup
If you don't feel like rolling all the cabbage leaves for the traditional recipe, this soup has all the flavors of stuffed cabbage with none of the fuss.
Za'atar Carrot Salad
Grated carrots tossed in a bright dressing of lemon, olive oil, white vinegar, za'atar, sesame seeds, and garlic. It's a great make-ahead side that doubles as a bowl topping throughout the week.
Roasted Beet & Carrot Salad
The perfect warm salad for a side. It keeps for days, so go ahead and double it.
Sautéed Cabbage
The perfect side to twirl on your fork! Reminds me of meals my grandfather used to eat.
Greek Lemon Potatoes
Tender, melt-in-your-mouth potatoes inspired by the kind you get at Greek restaurants.
Green Goddess Grazing Board
This is my favorite way to welcome guests. It adds a ton of color to the spread and can easily be made a day in advance.
Passover Sponge Cake
Another one of my mom's staples. She made this every Passover, and always said it was healthy because of how many eggs are packed inside.
Chocolate Chip Mandel Bread
The same recipe my mom always made for us when we were little (given to her by Bobby Lieberman's mom).
