Passover 2024 starts on the evening of Monday, April 22, 2024, and ends on the evening of Tuesday, April 30, 2024
The Passover Seder is abundant with rich traditions, including reading the Haggadah, which recounts the story of the Jews' exodus from Egypt, having young children sing Ma Nishtana, searching for the Afikomen, and enjoying the festive meal.
Traditionally, the main meal at a Passover table features meat-centric dishes. Ashkenazi Jews might serve brisket, chicken, sweet and sour meatballs, matzo ball soup, and tzimmes, while Sephardic Jews may opt for chicken with olives and preserved lemons, spiced lamb with mushrooms, jeweled rice, harissa cucumber salad, and celeriac soup. However, with an increasing number of families hosting vegan and vegetarian guests at their beautifully set seder tables, it is essential to provide meat-free, dairy-free, and kosher for Passover dishes that can be served alongside the traditional meat fare.
Being vegetarian or vegan during Passover can be challenging, as chametz items like bread and pasta are avoided, and depending on family origin, some may also avoid Kitniyot, which includes rice, legumes, pulses, beans, soy, sesame, corn, etc.
Fortunately, this list of Vegetarian Passover Recipes will keep you full and satisfied, during the 8 days of Passover, while also ensuring that everyone at the table can enjoy the celebration.
