Tonight's Dinner

[Guest guest]

This was tonights dinner. Since it is Passover, I am

supposed to be behaving myself but I did stretch it a bit

with the parmesan cheese (not exactly something I saw on

the Passover table ever). Being from a fairly

non-religiouis family (my mom is from a religious family

but my dad isn't), we always stretched things a bit. But

we always obeyed the rule of no yeasted items at

Passover and nothing really out of the ordinary either.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 pc matzo

water

1 1/2 tsp vegetable oil

1 lg onion -- chopped

2 cloves garlic -- sliced thinly

3 cups mushrooms -- thinly sliced

1 yellow bell pepper -- thinly

sliced

salt and pepper -- to taste

Optional (if religious or not):

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese -- freshly

grated*

 

Place matzo in a pie pan or something shallow. Pour some

water over it and let it sit for a moment or so until a

bit soft. Then squeeze out as much of the water as you

can. It doesn't matter if the matzo gets all crumbly.

 

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the

onion and garlic and saute until a bit soft. Add the

sliced pepper and saute until soft. Add the mushrooms and

continue to cook until they are tender and have released

all their juices, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and

pepper.

 

Spray a pie plate with some nonstick spray or a bit of

vegetable oil. Place the crumbled matzo in the plate and

spread it out so it fills the whole pan. Make sure there

are no holes. Sprinkle with a touch of salt and pepper.

Cover the matzo layer with the mushroom mixture. Spread

it out so it covers the whole thing. Sprinkle with the

parmesan if you can use it.

 

Preheat the oven to 400°F. When hot, place pan in oven

and cook for 25 minutes. When done, let it sit for 10

minutes.

Serve.

NOTES : * I'm not from a religious family so I use the

cheese. If you are very strict, omit it and use something

crunchy on top.
