Rainbow Challah I just put sprinkles on the top instead of any other topping, I figures it would be cute in honor of Purim.
Corn Pudding you need creamed corn- do you have? If yes I will type it up !

[BroadwayFreak]

I think corn pudding = corn kugel.

[rachel b.]

No, just regular corn. I'll just improvise something. I like the sprinkles idea!!

this.

we ate challa away from the table, shook off and washed up, and then continued the seudah on pesach dishes.

[naphtaliq]

I'm away for pesach so I had a large meal for people that had already changed over their kitchens.

[warren]

meal on last day of Pesach. I made it dairy because all the other Yom Tov meals that I was invited to were meat. There were 11 of us.

pesach rolls
gefilte fish (from a frozen gefilte fish roll)
salad + dressing
quinoa tabouli
cashew and mushroom roast
zucchini pancakes
genoise, ganache
brownies (for kiddush at shul)

-- Pesach Rolls (makes 18)
boil
1.5 c water
3/4 c oil (you can use any oil, including olive)
add to
1.5 c meal
1.5 c cake
1/2 T salt
1.5 T sugar
add, one at a time
6 eggs
let sit 15', shape with oily hands

50', 375 degrees

-- Yogurt dressing (3 c)
Blend until creamy
2 c yogurt
6 T oil
2 T vinegar
tarragon (it doesn't say how much, I guessed)
4 t chopped parsley
4 T grated onion
1/4 t oregano
1 t salt
1/2 t garlic powder
1/4 t white pepper
Refrigerate in airtight jar

-- Quinoa Tabouli
rinse several times, rubbing grains together
1 cup quinoa
boil in
2 cups water
simmer, cover, 10-15', until water absorbed
while cooking, chop finely
3 medium ripe tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh mint
1 1/2 cups parsley
1 cup scallion
add
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
stir in quinoa and
salt, to taste

-- Cashew and Mushroom Roast
boil
3 med potatos
mash with
butter

fry
1 T oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed

grind
225 g cashew
add to potato
matza meal to bind
1 egg
1 t fresh rosemary
1 t fresh thyme
150 ml vegetable stock
S+P
add onion

saute
225 g mushroom, chopped
half of nut mixture, mushrooms, rest of nuts
cover with foil, 1 hr 400F

(I ran out of time, so instead of that, I took the potatos, mashed them, added salt, pepper, and grated cheddar, put them in a dish, and heated it on the plata at lunch. I fried the mushrooms right before the meal in olive oil with onions, and when they were done I added a bit of salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar)

-- zucchini pancakes
grate coarse, add 2t salt, sit in strainer 15', press out water
1 kg small zucchini
fry transparent
1/4 c olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1 large onion, chapped fine
mix with
1 c parsley, chopped fine
2 stalks thyme, leaves
2 T parmesan, grated
2-3 eggs (add the third if needed)
4 T crumbs or matzo meal
S+P

shape small pancakes, dip in crumbs and fry in 1/2 cm olive oil

The title of this recipe said "zucchini and pine nuts" and I had already bought some, so I grated them in the food processor and used them instead of the matzo meal. There were 100 grams which made more than 4T. I tried frying them without dipping them in crumbs, but they didn't stay together, so after forming each pancake I dropped it into a bowl of matzo meal, scooped some over the top, and put it into the hot oil.

-- genoise
A genoise is usually made with flour. I found somewhere a suggestion to replace the flour with a mixture of ground almonds and cocoa. I threw them into the food processor together and ground them until the almonds were very fine. It's usually brushed with a sugar syrup but I didn't have time.

9" springform pan, preheat oven to 350F

warm to 110F
3 T clarified butter (would probably work with oil, too)
add, cover to keep warm
1 t vanilla
whisk
4 eggs
1/2 c sugar
beat over simmering water to lukewarm, whisking
take off heat, beat 5-10' until quadrupled
whisk 1c of eggs into butter
dust half of flour over rest of eggs and fold nearly all of it
repeat and fold completely
1/2 c almond flour
1/2 c cocoa
fold in butter mixture
20-30', instructions say to unmold at once but I was busy, and nothing bad happened.
I sliced into two layers, left one at the bottom of the reassembled springform, spread the first ganache, put the second layer back, and topped with the second ganache.

-- Light Whipped Ganache (4 c, two 9" layers)
Almost melt, stir to melt.
112g chocolate
1/3 c cream
Set aside till no longer warm.
Beat till beater marks show.
2/3 c cream
1/4 t vanilla
Add chocolate and beat to soft peaks.

-- Dark Ganache
melt in food processor. Heat for 30", stir, repeat until melted. Whisk until smooth
1 c cream
1 lb chocolate

-- brownies
I found paper baking trays that were large enough for to hold two of this recipe but the recipe calls for a 9" square pan
mix
2 cups granulated or brown sugar (I used light brown)
2 sticks butter, melted and cooled
add
3 eggs
1 tablespoon brewed coffee (I just threw some instant coffee powder in)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 scant cup matzoh cake meal
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts (optional)
25' 350,
should be set and seem dry to the touch, but no crust around sides

I put pecans in one pan and marbled marshmallow spread into the other.

It's probably going to be a pretty basic Shabbos... but challah there will be. Everyone's been asking for it.
