I'm looking for appitizers for my dairy and fleishig meals -
I am looking to mix it up a bit - as I am having my inlaws and some other people for all of the meals and dont want to make too many repeats.....

-fruit
-gefilte fish
-dairy parfait cups (layers of fruit and yogurt and pesach granola)

(soup will be served for all the night meals - I think it might be too hot to serve soup during the day)

what else??!! TIA!

Flounder roll-ups from an old Binah recipe. Basically flounder filled with sauteed tomatoes, peppers, onions.

Just what I was going to say. It's our pesach favorite.
Also how about Schnitzel salad?

grilled salmon on top of salad. You can be fancy and put it on skewers as well.

I usually make 3-4x this recipe -
I substitute safflower oil for the margarine
I omit the nutmeg and chocolate chips and use yellow and black raisins and dried cranberries
we eat this for breakfast - with milk or just munch on it
keep an eye on it so that it doesnt burn

Ingredients

* 2 1/2 cups matzo farfel
* 1 cup shredded fresh coconut
* 1 cup chopped pecans
* 1/4 cup margarine
* 1/4 cup passover brown sugar or 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1/4 cup honey
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup raisins
* 1 cup dates, cut up
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* chocolate chips, for passover (optional)

Directions:

Prep Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 1 hr

1. 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. 2 Combine matzo farfel, coconut and nuts in a bowl and spread mixture on a lightly greased jellyroll pan.
3. 3 Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing several times until lightly toasted.
4. 4 Meanwhile, in 2-qt saucepan combine margarine, sugar, honey and salt.
5. 5 Bring to a simmer for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
6. 6 Remove from heat and add lightly toasted farfel-coconut-nut mixture to syrup mixture.
7. 7 Mix well, coating evenly and then place back on jellyroll pan.
8. 8 Increase oven to 350F and toast mixture for 20-25 minutes until it is golden brown, stirring several times to avoid buring.
9. 9 Transfer granola to a large mixing bowl and stir in raisins, dates and cinnamon with a spatula, breaking up any large clumps.
10. 10 Cool thoroughly and add chocolate chips.
11. 11 Store in an airtight container.

I like this idea - I make it usually with the kosher by design short on time recipe - but that has soy sauce in it - maybe I will swap it out and use something else to marinade the salmon in. tx

I was thinking of possibly doing a ground meat log (ground chicken - rolled into a long log -
then placing it onto a crepe that has some sort of spread - not sure yet - either a horseradish-mayo spread or babaganush or guacamole, and then a little shredded cabbage or lettuce,
then roll it up, pin it a bunch of times ith mini skewers or toothpicks and sreving 2 slices of it on a bed of shredded lettuce or cabbage.

Wow!
Would you all like some company?
I'm tempted to start a spinoff thread: Anyone else not planning to make crepes this Pesach? Tongue Out

Friends have told me they make them on a large griddle, instead of in a frying pan. You get large sheets at once, that can be cut to size as needed. It's much faster than standing over hot frying pans.

Everyone always skimps on vegetables....

How about little stacks of roasted red peppers and portobello mushrooms caps drizzled with a balsamic reduction and sprinkled with fresh basil?

It has a nice presentation and is actually really simple to make. Just roasted the veggies with some oil, salt and pepper at 400. Reduce the balsamic vinegar on medium heat til it makes a syrup and add a touch of sugar to cut the acidity a bit.
