Best served warm, but also good cold.

 Vis Koekjes - pronounced 'fis koookyes' - Fish Cookies

Submitted by Shainy Evers. My husband and I  make this for Chol Hamoed picnics with our little boys and no matter how much we make, there are never any leftovers. This is a recipe my mother-in-law, who lives in Amersfoort, Holland, makes. Enjoy, Shainy Evers

White Fish - (any non expensive fish) cover and bake or boil, then crumble/ mash

Same amount of potatoes. - cooked and mashed

Onion. one to two per pound - grated

Eggs – use approximately one raw egg per pound of fish

Salt to taste

Mix all ingredients together.
Leave in fridge for an hour so it will get firmer (optional).
Shape into flat patties (cookie shape)

Fry in oil until you get a nice golden brown.

You can store in plastic zip bags in fridge, it won't get soggy.

Bas Hinda's (Passover) Chocolate Torte

Submitted by Channa Shriki. We eat it all year! I think the title says it all. If Bas Hinda had not discovered this amazing creation, I'd not only be hungry and grumpy all Pesach, I'd be thinner too !!! The cake is so good I made it in March- Heshvan for my son's birthday and it disappeared !

6 oz chocolate - any kind (I used the bag of Oppenheimer's pareve choc chips which are delicious) 
1/2 cup oil, any kind 

Melt. If you have a big enough pan, you can mix the cake in there too. 

3/4 cup sugar 
1/8 tsp salt, any kind 
1-2 tsp coffee, optional 
3 eggs 
1/2 cup cocoa powder 

Add the above ingredients, mix thoroughly, and bake in small (8" round) greased pan for half an hour at 350 deg. 

(I just quadrupled the recipe and baked it in 2 9 by 13 shallow pans.) 

YOU WILL JUST LOVE THIS CAKE !!!!!!

Moroccan Vegetable Passover Stew  

Submitted by Lindsay Shugerman. (Omit the garbanzo beans if not your Sephardic tradition)

1 large peeled and cubed sweet potato
2 large carrots, scrubbed and cut into 1 inch chunks
1 medium red onion, peeled and quartered
1 small eggplant, peeled and cubed
1 each, red & yellow peppers (green will not work), seeded and sliced

1 large can diced tomatoes, including juice
1 cup dried apricots, sliced
1 cup golden raisins
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tablespoons veggie Kosher for Passover broth powder OR 4 cups homemade rich veggie stock
4 cups water, if not using veggie stock
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Sliced almonds, to garnish

Combine all ingredients, except almonds in a large, heavy pot. Make sure seasonings are well mixed into the liquids.

Cover and cook on medium low, stirring occasionally. Be careful to keep the stew from boiling, as that will bring out a bitter flavor in the veggies and spices.

Cook until all vegetable are tender and onions are transparent and soft. Adjust salt, if needed. Top with sliced almonds.
Serve hot, with a wild green salad & chilled orange slices.

Enjoy! Lindsay

Senta’s German Matzah Balls (They’re Supposed to Be Heavy!)

Submitted by Phyllis Zimbler Miller. From the Jewish holiday book SEASONS FOR CELBRATION by Rabbi Karen L. Fox and Phyllis Zimbler Miller (Senta Fox is Karen’s mother of blessed memory.)

4 (kosher for Pesach) matzahs
2 Tbsp. unsalted (kosher for Pesach) pareve margarine
1 whole egg (or 2 egg whites)
1/4  small onion, chopped fine
1-2 teaspoons. chopped parsley
1 cup (kosher for Pesach) matzah meal, add more if needed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/8 treaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Crumble the matzahs and soak in warm water.  Drain water and squeeze mixture as dry as possible.  Melt margarine in frying pan; add onions and fry until golden.

Add matzah mixture, stir for a few minutes until warmed.  Remove from heat.  Add in eggs, spices, parsley. Mix thoroughly and let stand in refrigerator for ½ hour.

Remove from refrigerator and shape mixture into balls (the size of a quarter); roll balls in a little matzah meal to hold the shape. Put on paper plates and store flat. May be frozen if done ahead.

Before cooking test one matzah ball by putting in boiling water or soup.  If it separates, roll each matzah ball in a dusting of additional matzah meal.  Cook in soup until the matzah balls rise to the top.  Recipe makes 6-8 matzah balls.

Note: For those who want lighter matzah balls, use the recipe on the box of matzah meal or the kosher for Pesach mix.
